This is me after my first week of chemo in January 1996.
I am bloated here, because I am full of twenty plus pounds of fluid and cancer!
My neck looks huge, my face is round, and I can tell that I am very very pale!
I wore a mask like this one through most of my treatment to keep away germs.
I had just cut off most of my hair the day before this photo was taken.

Now go back and look at how I look now!
What a difference a little chemo and radiation make!
