Im digging deep in co-codomol. Hanging in on eating and drinking. Counting my blessings.

  • Hi Steve, great pictures! I kept a blog but drawing is so therapeutic! It sounds like you are doing really well. Co-codamol works well, as does Oromorph, during the final few weeks. I didn't have a tube, I ate and drank throughout and only lost 2kg in total (sadly!). I did have some shakes but made sure I ate something solid every day without fail. It wasn't super easy but I got through it. You can too - I'll be rooting for you! Out of interest, what cats do you have?! Hope they are looking after you. I have 2 ragdolls who were great therapy throughout :-)

  • Hello,

    I have two cats. Rosie and Jim! Norwegian Forest lovelies. Yes, I'm grateful I've done well to date. I did spend time getting fit pre treatment.  Have lost my voice today, day 2 week 5. And, I have gained weight.!!My priority is no feeding tube, it's a bit sore now, though. I would not even have guessed at this kind of cancer, but I appear to be responding.

    Take care

    Steve.

    I've always had cats. I was a vet before I retired and I always had strays at home but my last one died just before we moved to Wales and I never got any more. I do miss them and have Norwegian Forest envy. Superb breed
