I had a good afternoon today, meeting my oncologist and nurse for the first time. B and I had done a lot of reading about what this first phase of treatment (chemoradiation) might involve, but it is good to hear it all from the doc himself.
This could be a relatively long post, so detail of the treatment will follow a little below, but many...

….from both sides now” Clouds …why clouds? On Tuesday I had my weekly consultant consultation and we discussed my latest ct scan images. Clouds, that’s what I have!! I can’t remember if I said in an earlier post but I’ve developed an allergy to the IV contrast they use to enhance the images of scans so now mine are a bit blurry to say the least.

For those who already know my story-I apologise for repeating myself but here goes:
I was diagnosed with cancer of the voice box and, to cut a very long and probably tedious, story as short as possible I have had my voice box, trachea (from neck up) and oeasophagus (never bnow how to spell that!!) removed...
Watching the local news on Monday night, spotted my partner's consultant on TV, scurrying away from an Inquest. Amused to seeing him smoothing his hair down on camera, never suspected he was image conscious! He is an incredibly clever man but at times my partner says he feels as if the Prof is talking to a batch of cells rather than to a person.
My partner had an afternoon and evening at home, he put up a shelf and then watched the World Cup in the evening. It's good to see him having some energy...
