no peace for the wicked

Less than one minute read time.

Iwas hopeing for a break from melanoma after my last op but was informed yesterday I needed radiotherapy to mop up any cells that escaped so now need 25 treatments, then expected a short break as was told treatment would probebly start in about one month's time,another mistake they rang this afternoon to say I'm to go next wednesday for the mask making and again on friday so it looks likei wont get a break before easter. I guess I should be gratefull as this is the first time I haven't been kept waiting for treatment.

one piece of good news I don't have to stick to that awfull fat free diet,so asthey tell me I will have a sore mouth with the radiotherapy I am going tomake the most of it and have a real binge without feeling guilty

    Hi Plum,

    So your going for your Mask next Wednesday. Dont

    tell anybody but I have mine in the Bedroom for the last 12 yrs  I just happen to take it with me when my course was finished. So Ive painted it all different colours and it looks nice hanging above the bed.

    All the best and good luck with the treatment.

    Take care and be safe Big Hugs Love Sarsfield.xx

    Hi Plum

    Hope all goes well and you don't suffer too badly

    Ditch the diet and enjoy eating what you like for a while. I don't blame you!

    Love and hugs

    Oh Plum, I didnt realise when you said last night about the mask that it was related to needing some radio. want to wish you all the best for the fitting and I hope the treatment isnt too bad for you- im sure its just a precaution but its best to make sure there isnt any nasty stuff left.

    I am pleased though that the dreadful diet is over and yes I think you need to make the most of it before the radio- get eating!

    take care and we are here for you to talk to in chat

    I had 3 teeth out last week due to radiotherapy due to start on 28th and was feeling quite a wimp becausemy mouth was hurting even before I started, I found out today the reason is the gum's have become infected so perhaps its understandable, at least now I can hope to enjoy a few days without discomfort before the side affects set in
