Throat biopsy and peg done. Just got home.

Ah, that's great Stef.

Hope all goes well Friday.

Thanks Linda x

Well done Stef I remember when I had my tube fitted it was an overnight stay so you've done well to be home; don't stint with the pain killers (along with the hugs) tonight though, my tube was totally pain-free to start with so I didn't think to take any before bed and woke up in complete agony in the early hours.

Might not happen to you but I'd advise you err on the cautious side.

Thanks Mike

had paracetamol just before leaving hospital and another two around 10pm tonight. Codeine available if needed but might set alarm for 2am to keep on the paracetamol.

also been taking laxido for the last week in case of constipation and a sore stomach. Fingers x’d it helps.

get to wear my stockings until about Sunday, but  doesn’t seem to have the same affect on my wife when the tables are turned!

i won’t be setting a new trend then.

That’s great same  diagnosis as me  so in good company m baby steps just take everything ine day at a time ,once treatment starts yiu fall into a routine like I’ve said before keep on top of pain meds and use our peg when needed .

Great to have got all that out of the way 

Good news over HPV too

Once plan is in place and you have a timetable it will be easier to cope with  

Sounds like they have your bases covered so good luck  

Thank you Beesuit

initially when consultant came in to see me and I asked about the HPV he told me it was negative. Later after the op, he came to tell me all went well, he then told me the HPV was positive so took it as a little bonus even though he says it doesn’t make a great deal of difference.

The HPV status is quite a good bobby bonus Stef as HPV driven cancers respond very well to treatment.
