Cancer and its treatments can often affect your weight. The changes can be quite small, which might not bother you too much, but you could also put on, or lose, a lot of weight which can be quite upsetting or hard to deal with. It can be another blow to your self esteem and body image when you already have so much else to deal with. This section tells you why your treatment can cause weight changes and what you can do about it.

throughout my treatment, my weight was up and dwon like a yo yo, my mistake was everytime i lost weight, i throw out all my "fat" clothes, thing was, everytime the next dose of steroids came around, i had nothing that fitted and that made the normal yuckyness of steroids worse aswell as the evilness of having to go shopping to buy clothes in sizes that in your mind shouldnt fit you! so tip is, dont throw out nefin! including bandanas! (u never kno when u might need them)
