Hi all hope everyone is well and coping in the current situation, I just wanted to up date you'll of my situation.
Firstly I've to start with some sad news that,on Saturday morning at 3.30am, my poor mum passed away peacefully at home, with myself and one of my sister's by her side,mum was fighting to the end but,unfortunately the nmoanie(sorry for spelling) got her,it was a tough week for mum,especially the last couple of day's, as her body give up but,mum's mind was still fighting to the end.
Sorry about the news guys but,as you can guess I'm not dealing with it very well but,I keep telling myself mum is in a better place.
Onto me ,I've spoken to my consultant yesterday morning and,thankfully I'm doing well fro his point of view, I had a list of questions that I went through with him and,he said not too worry it's part of the recovery but it will take time for my body to fully recover.
Just to ask a few questions to you guys,I've had a bad upset stomach and,going toilet a lot,is that normal? Also I've no interest in food, so I'm forcing myself to eat,little and often and,some times I can't even do that and finally the tiredness is getting annoying, that I can't do anything I want too,is that normal?
Sorry to go on a lot but,I'm all over the place at the moment.
Thanks for reading this

Hi and first a man ((hug)) coming your way.
I am so so sorry to hear about your mum and my deepest condolences to you and all your family.
In normal circumstances this is hard, but during these tough times with the restrictions imposed around funerals, things have just been made more challenging. I do hope you find a suitable way to celebrate her life but her life will always kibble on in and through you all,
Upset stomach and toilet visits can be normal, but don’t let it go on over long without getting it checked out. Your GP can get a sample tested just to be safe. Drink lots to ensure you don’t get dehydrated and it does help flush out your system.
With what you are going through not being interested in food is normal, post treatment it’s also normal so see eating as just getting fuel into your body, mindless grazing on anything may be the way forward fir a period but this will improve.
Tiredness (Fatigue) is one of the mysteries post treatment. Your body can be lethargic and with the restrictions that we find ourselves following over the past months. it just makes it worse. You will eventually have to become very intentional in doing some simple but regular activity to get your body into a routine. This for me took a few years to get back to some real normality.
Hoping things go well over the next few weeks and do your best to celebrate a life well lived.
