I have now had 20 days of radiotherapy out of 33 and at moment I am feeling ok.
I cant believe I am more than half way it. It feels like it was only yesterday that i started it.
I am now on a morphine patch and this seems to have stopped my throat hurting which in turn means I am able to eat a bit more.
I know I have to eat but everything just tastes the same, CRAP. There is no flavour to anything but the only flavours i can really taste is lemon and vanilla.
I have lost nearly a stone in weight over a week but its not the best way to do it. I would rather struggle with weight and be able to taste something.
Yesterday I went for my CT scan on my neck, pelvis, abdomen and chest to see if it has spread anywhere and I now have the pressure of waiting a few weeks for results.
In the meantime I will carry on going to work and look forward to my 13 days finishing.

Hi Unkysheep,
Glad you're coping and don't worry the rest of the treatments will whizz by too. It seems such an uphill struggle when you start. Good luck with your results.
Unkysheep is my husband, his real name is Shaun. A few years ago while on holiday in greece for his brothers wedding his nephews and niece were calling him shaun the sheep, then it went onto be uncle sheep and somehow ended up being unkysheep and it's just stuck, even our 11yr old son calls his dad sheepy
