I was told prior to starting my treatment to eat what I wanted because when I started Chemo I wouldnt want to eat. Not so. I did really well during Chemo but because of the Dex seemed to eat like a horse. It was actually 12 kg in total I put on but the first 6kgs just dropped straight away after treatment with absolutely no effort. The problem then was I was used to eating loads and with the Tamoxifen after Rads there was a slight change there as well. Mainly round my middle !! I was 62kg when I started and 74 kg after Chemo. Now sitting at 67ish kg. Yes I got a swollen puffy face and eyelids. So basically looked like and over weight gollum when I wasnt wearing my wig lol. My face was only swollen for a short while and not through the whole of the chemo treatment. It will get better and you will return to normal. Here are photos in chronological order from start to wher I am now
Just had the portacath put in before chemo
