tonsil cancer...chemo journey day 3!!

1 minute read time.

september 22nd - well its day 3 of trev being in hospital and day 2 of chemo!! was chattin to him on facebook this mornin....and he was fighting fit!! by 8 am...showered, changed, meds, trachy tubes sorted and peg cleaned!!! never been known! i was due to see him tonight...but since he felt so well i went thru today for a date!!! we went for a coffee and sat in the gardens. just chilled...cud have been a lush beer garden somewhere!!!

he s on cistiplan..or howerever its spelt!! that was last night and now he hooked up to 5fu all day and night. got a tube thing in his pocket. thing is.....he looks soooo well!! healthier than he has done in weeks! first thing i noticed when i went up is he has colour in his cheeks!! not had that in a while!! i was amazed!! cudnt stop lookin at him!!! lol . he s eatin like a horse.....plus plenty fluids.....and has bags of energy!!! took me on a hike around the outside of the hospital...and if you ve been to james cook in boro....ITS MASSIVE!!!!!! he s just rang tonight,,,,and is feelin really well. says his neck feelin little easier ...and his throat just feelin a bit dry. he s feelin really positive....and i am so we rubbin off on each other. he s in there til sunday coz of having that reaction beginnin of week he s a day behind. not bothered as long as he s fine!

so thats us as the minute......is it normal? whats normal? i dunno but its good to see him lookin and feelin well!!!

ps......i read that the combination of this chemo doesnt cause hair loss....any info anyone???

pps....also....since the cancer is in his tonsil...its sorta fusin to his tongue at the back....the docs know and said its a little in there...but what im wonderin and havent asked as yet...with the treatment to shrink everythin....so u reckon it ll shrink the tonsil back or will it be surgery??? just wondering

thanks for yr support
