I finished my chemo radiation on the 14th May 2024 and in the first week I lost 14lbs in weight as I couldn't look at food and I even couldn't drink water as over a period of 5 weeks I had to drink 400ml upping it to 500ml- 20mins before my treatment. I have just started to get my appetite back.
On the 8th July had my first CT scan with contrast and will be having my MRI scan on the 21st July.
I have a telephone appointment with my oncologist on the 24th July finding out my fate. At the back of my mind I know my next step will be an operation to remove my tumour and with it being close to one of my lymph nodes I was told by my surgeon when I saw him a few months ago that that would be removed and also I could end up with a colostomy bag as well.
I know there are people worse off than me but I am feeling very anxious.
While I was diagnosed with cancer my husband was diagnosed with vascular dementia with Alzheimer so at the moment I have a lot going on and sometimes I feel very alone.
All I can do is keep strong and hopefully at the end of this I will be back on my horse
