Here is a photo of me from April. Chemotherapy, radiotherapy, a stem cell transplant, and steroids are really good at wearing you down. I also lost a lot of muscle tone after 6 weeks in bed last year plus the 4 weeks a few months before that and so on and so on. Now that I am finally feeling a bit more energetic after the last few drug changes I can finally start doing some exercise. I lost a bit of the puffy look as the steroid level has dropped and my diabetes has been easier to control. Previously any sugary/carbo foods really made by Blood Sugar Level (BSL) to shoot up. Now I can have a bit of choccy and not have to worry too much about the BSL. Also, I have been losing some of the redness in my face (it was very red after hospital).
