Hi everyone,
I have my 12 week, Pet /CT scan on Monday 10th March but don't see consultant until April 3rd ,it seems a long wait between. Trying to tell myself it will be ok. I met up with my CNS Rachel also to talk things out and she reassured me as much as possible. I asked if I'm doing ok at this stage in the recovery 12th week , and keeps reinforcing the fact that my body has took a big bashing ,and 12 weeks isn't much really. I asked about my aches and pains, she still maintains my body is trying to fix it's self ,and it takes time. She has referred me for some counselling to help with my anxious state, but of course there is a waiting list. I appreciate everything she tries to do for me. She even got me some meds to help with nausea. I think I'd feel better if I didn't feel so unfit! I know I've got to get mind over matter but it's hard when your not feeling well ! On a plus note my dietician told me I've only lost 7 pounds ,but on me that's a lot !! I hope I can claw that back in the future as I don't like looking thin faced!!I've been able to have a whole banana for breakfast now before my throat gets sore ,so I top up with a fresubin. For lunch I'm able to eat half tin of Big Soup., with another fresubin and hour later.
Then I have a pump feed later as my throat is usually too sore to eat again, dietician said I'm doing ok ,but will reassess in a couple of weeks.
How was you at 12 weeks ?
