Last week I had a 12 month(ish) follow-up with the Radiotherapy Oncologist. I last saw her in Jan 2018, 2 months after my last radiotherapy session (chemo had finished a couple of days earlier). In the interim of course I had an MRI and an ultrasound.
The appointment confirmed that all is well; the mouth has healed very well (both from surgery and the radiation); saliva production may improve further over next 12 months, but she also said it is not unheard of for there to be improvements even after the initial 2 year benchmark. Appointment this Thursday with medical oncologist simply because I want to have a final once over before I move to a different country in next couple of months. I need to find a suitable oncology team for ongoing follow-ups.
I will still check-in on here and hopefully can still offer something...not sure how many pearls of wisdom as such!
Next focus is an Ultra Challenge...50km...or do I go a bit nuts and do a full 100km..? Hmmm.
Take care all,
J.
