Day 11 - I'm ready to go home now....

Less than one minute read time.

I'm ready- mentally and physically to go home now. Friday they said I was physically ready, but I just wasn't ready myself, but today I am, so hopefully I will be on my way tomorrow.

Today for breakfast I ate bread and jam, porridge tea and soup. With a tea spoon and a bit of occasional poking ( and the crusts cut off) it all went down. ( I know my hair will never curl!!)

MDT meeting Wednesday to decide if my margins mean I need radiotherapy or not, apparently one side is a bit close. Lymph glands are clear. They think it's low grade adenocarcinoma ? Haven't done much reading around that yet.

Appointment Friday. The team in my ward are the most amazing bunch of people. Summary of my stay: Lows- feeding tube / stomach ache / the first few night and dry mouths Highs - clear soup first real food after tube / washing my hair yesterday / people Also making a friend in the ward who is going through the same thing. I think comparing wounds and stories really helps the process.

    Good morning DLC ... sounds like you are doing really well, especially being able to eat a good breakfast so keep it up ! Yes, I also found that my care was brilliant and the nurses were angels, I quite missed them on my discharge. I hope that you don't need the RT but whatever your team decide is for the best.

    Enjoy getting back home and remember to take it easy x
