021219.JPG

The result of the CT-scans after 3 cycles of chemo had been not to good - tumour shrinkage was less then expected/necessary.

So the MDs decided to give me at least two cycles of dose-escalated BEACOPP.

This photo was taken towards the end of my first cycle of dose-escalated BEACOPP (started on 3rd of December).

My face is so bloated from high-doses of cortisone (and too much food - cortisone makes big time appetite) that I do not look like myself but rather like an eunuch 2 months after castration.

And a handsome Eunuch at that! Just teasing. I'm sure you weren't very into the look. The face however is handsome as ever. The smile and eyyes still there.
