As I approach my next team medical checkup day tomorrow and am now nearly 40 days and nights AFTER Radiotherapy treatment finished I am disappointed to state that the throat pain sees me way behind my recovery plan. After drinking a pint of watered down milk shake last Monday via mouth I really thought I had hit the nail on the head and was on the road to all being sorted. Trouble was I tried to do too much and I now need pain relief to swallow anything,so frustrating as I want to ge my life back and start getting back to the gym and doing the things i have missed over the past 5 or so months! No doubt my consultancy team will state we are moving in the right direction (I hope they do anyway!) and it should only be a matter of days rather than months until i can have a bee in my new garden pub). I will try and keep blog up to date but it is very much dejavu i am afraid.
