Hi everyone my husband went for his 6 week check post radiotherapy yesterday,everything is looking as it should at this stage ,I feel like we have crossed the other side now and are well on the road to recovery,he's up and about walking the dogs ,shopping ,living a normal life ,all be it at a bit of a slower pace ,hang in there guys it does get better, there have been some very dark days as you all know but finally the sun is shining again ,thank you all especially radioactive raz and bees ,you have been my saviour on those very low days xxx
Hi great news we all get there a different paces. Just remember it’s still early days there may be 2 step forward and one step back days but as we say it’s a marathon not a sprint. I found getting out and doing smaller walks really helped. Plus riding my bike. Great post for others who will follow to read.
hugs Hazel xx

Hi Kenco,

You’ll do it Turi. You are more resilient than you imagine. We find inner resources that we would think impossible in a normal life. A day at a time and slowly does it.
All of us help each other
