Hello there strangers, its been a long time since i blogged on here but to tell you the truth i didnt have the energy then, not much better now but i thought i just give a little update.
Nearly three weeks since the last treatment of RT and i can say im getting quite impatient, loads of mucous, thick flemgn which is a chest infection at the mo, spent three weeks in hospital for sickness and just being so ill, am home now but i cant hardly swallow still and cant ever imagine not having my feeding PEG! I would be grateful if there is anyone out there who has had this RT to throat and neck, how long is it roughly before you start to eat normally again??? I keep trying but its agony, my mouth is full all the time of watery thick stuff which i keep spitting out, its disgusting!!!!!!
No energy at all just living in and out of bed and am sick of the same four walls, sorry to sound so negative but i really thought it would be quicker than this with the swallowing. I realise everthing is burnt and food does not taste like it should is this normal with your taste buds?????? When do they come back ?????
Sorry but at the moment cant see anything positive to shout about, hope you are all recovering well or coping with your illness.
Take care
Jill
