Side effects

I'm amazed you can do anything so soon after finishing treatment!  Well done. Sounds like you might just have overdone it a bit. Glad you're OK now. Have you lost much weight?  

Don’t forget that your brain takes a hit with RT which messes with balance, blood pressure , stamina and memory. 
Take it easy 

She’s possibly right I aimed for 2500 calories every day during recovery. Check your blood pressure as well mine went in the low Sid for me. So I was extra careful hen standing up.

Hi I’ve lost 7 kg. As they said I’m a big lad so could afford to lose that much I expect to lose a couple more kg in the next couple weeks.  Just keep plodding along 

Well it seemed a good idea at the time. I did it with that woman.  Oh the wife

I have been reliably informed I had 1200 calories yesterday. “ see I told you your not getting enough” so ———— drumroll I just attempting a Tin of  ox oxtail soup 

Soup is good

A soup maker is a great idea also. I didn't have one during my cancer treatment but I had dietry problems end of last year/beginning of this, for another issue, that I had a dietician for again. She suggested I get one and it's been brilliant, also cuts out the large amount of salt there often is in pre-made ones.

Blood pressure checked 106/68 which is about normal for me pulse rate 56 which is bang on 

Hi soup  is good home  made even better I’ve had a soup maker a few years it’s brill. Plus extra calorie add double cream to the veg soups extra. Calories.yIncan  make smoothies in mine add extra calories in those with nut butters.

Hi Paul

Congratulations on getting out in the garden and working on your greenhouse project. You will just have to pace yourself a bit and not try and do too much at once. You will get it done in the end.

After my surgeries and radiotherapy I started to get quite a few incidents of low blood pressure when bending down which makes me fill a bit dizzy. It has improved over time I still get that way at times. Sounds as though that is what you are having too. In between my blood pressure is fine and the doctor is quite happy with it. I just have to be a bit careful and make sure that I don't stand up too fast and that when I am bending down I am aware. It gets worse if I am a bit dehydrated. Drink plenty of fluid and pace yourself. I got a whole section re landscaped in my garden  just recently by doing a small bit every day. It all got finished in the end and looks great.I have just changed my approach.

Best wishes for your ongoing recovery.

P.S. like the others I make my own soup as you can get a much greater variety and it does taste much nicer. I do use bought stock as the base though. Couldn't bear spending hours making stock from scratch.
