Happy new year everyone, thanks again for advice and reply’s it means a-lot. Hopefully some of us will be cured this year, and some of us will have our cancer managed and halted. Onwards and upwards keep fighting keep breathing, but most of all keep eating, which sounds strange. But to us with oesophageal cancer, we know that something so basic can be so bloody tough. Happy new year, lots of love Haybag.x
So good to hear your eating better vinny, keep on doing what you’re doing .
Thank you it's been a difficult journey, but it's heaven I had pancakes this morning and chicken and rice for lunch how are you doing at the moment buddy?
I’m good thanks, ct scan came back with shrinkage of the tumour, and no movement to any other area, got to see pre-op team for assessment on the 4th jan , so hopefully surgery end of month, fingers crossed anyway. Found the fourth bout of chemotherapy treatment harder than the previous three, but feeling better and a bit stronger day by day. How are you finding your chemotherapy.
That's great to hear this cycle my 5th has knocked the energy out of me, but that's fine I don't mind napping. Hoping mine is having the same effect on me, the fact I'm eating more makes me believe its shrinking.
Hopefully your be tucking into a roast dinner or a Chinese takeout very soon my man.all the best with the chemotherapy. Keep us all posted happy new year. Haybag.
Happy new year to you to Neddy67, hope your treatment plan works for you, keep fighting the fight. Keep positive and keep posting. Onwards and upwards Haybag
