So I’m 2 weeks post treatment and I am improving a lot. I seem to of got off lightly with most side effects. I have no fatigue and go to work still and do jobs around the house as we’ve just had it renovated.
I can however only sip water and I haven’t had any urge to try food although I bought so soup with the goal to try some over next few days.
I can however still feel my lump which is playing hell with my mental health. Could anyone else still feel a lump post treatment and went on to get the all clear? My nurse says if there is still cancer there it’s an easy op to just remove it but it is bothering me. I just want to know it’s normal. In mornings I can hardly feel it but then I can later in day. Sorry I know I’ve posted about this before
I think the thing to remember is that treatment continues to work well past the end of the physical treatment. Somebody will be along soon who had lumps and bumps that did not go down for quite some while after treatment. It is not uncommon.
You sound like you are doing really well. Just watch that the side effects don't come and bite you on the bum - especially fatigue. Listen to your body and react accordingly.
Hi, Jako well done on finishing your treatment, sounds like you are doing well. Just try small amounts of food to see what you can get down best, things like porridge, milk puddings, soups, poach and scrambled eggs, it's all trial and error really. People on here have said that they could still feel lumps after their treatment, and gone on to get the all clear, it seems it is something that does happen.
Ray.
