I had to have a hysterectomy due to ovarian cancer a couple of years ago. Having trouble keeping muscle bulk even though I hit the weights 4-5 days a week. Any suggestions?

I'm by no means an expert by any stretch, but if your diet is good then perhaps there are some hormonal issues which could be a culprit. Perhaps a doctor visit just to remove a variable?
I've been in menopause for over 10 yrs. I keep my gains because it has been training hard and heavy all t h a t l o n g I think.

Are you in the Toronto area? The key is to locate a professional who is skilled with balancing hormones using bioidentical and NOT synthetic replacement hormones. Send me a PM and I can give you the details on the clinic if you are in the area.
