Hi.
Ive not been on here in a while just a little update in the wee hours of the day.
So I managed to get the rig and feel ok with it.
I had my first chemotherapy last week which wasn't too bad and met some amazing people it was really encouraging and sort of kept feelings at bay for a bit as we all kept each other up no matter how we were doing .
This is coming to the end of the second week of radiotherapy and things are starting to heat up.
As it's early morning it's as good a time as any to reflect on the weeks at the start where you feel like you are being carried along and stuff you get told feels a little unreal.
I'm still managing to eat but softer things with smaller portions and often. As no nausea I still have good appetite . Well I did until today when the effects ramped up a little. Was only taking paracetamol until yesterday but in the wee hours didn't cut it . Oxynorm was a god send. So felt a little defeated. Once the pain in my mouth was under control I realized I wasn't defeated just fighting with different ammunition. And going to continue fighting one side effect at a time.
Week 3 here I come .

And keep taking the analgesia. It’s there to make life bearable.
