Treatment Finished

1 minute read time.
Been a while since come on here for various reasons. One was work and the other was could not be arsed. Its been a strange couple of weeks, both emotionally and physically. I have been struggling to eat so have lost 2st and 5lb in 4 weeks and as a consequence on 21st April I collapsed at home. I went very dizzy, shaking and collapsed and banged my head on wall. Came round very quickly but shook me up. I was then under house arrest and didnt go to work all week. On Wednesday 23rd I went for my last treatment and then I had an appointment with Prof Patel to get my results from my CT scan. On my last scan, they said i had a 3mm node on my lung and a sub cm node near my spleen and this latest scan was to see if it had spread anywhere etc. It came back that the spleen one had not changed at all and the lung one they couldnt see. They also said that nothing had shown up in my neck. Very good news as given the all clear for now but seemed very surreal in that I knew I should be happy but couldnt be. I know I still have a long way to go in the healing process and I think it was that what was stopping me being happy. One week on and I have started eating again although I still cant taste anything but at least Im getting food down me and am not being nagged at as much now from the wife. lol Im back at week part time and am going to take it easy until i get my energy back. Not rushing anything. I have got to see a dermatologist next Tuesday to check out my remaining moles which should take him all day with the amount ive got. Back for check up 21st May and then Prof Patel in July. The trick is now to try to figure out what a normalish life is again. Thank you for all your support.

    Glad you have got through the treatment and that you are eating again, amazing the effect starvation has on the body - 2st in 4 weeks is a lot - no wonder you had a wobble!.  Take it easy and hopefully your taste buds will return to normal soon.

    Take care
