Evening lovely people THURSDAY UPDATE

29/33 fractions done 4 to go! Yey 

Weight : Maintained Lots of full fat puddings , jelly , ice cream , porridge , soft fish , mash pots etc . I think he has been lucky as he hasn’t lost his taste buds . 

Neck area . Very red and angry sore & cracking just in the Adam’s apple area.  Flamigel RT applied all the time nice and cold from the fridge . Silver cream will be given next week once treatment ends . 

Inside of mouth and throat : very very sore , the constant cough doesn’t help this also makes him feel sick . Nebuliser loaned from hospital today with saline solution .

oral thrush found in mouth . More meds for that .

Pain constant if not kept on top of . From tonight he is having slow release morphine 2 times a day with oral morphine in between . Gargling with salt water several times a day . And mouth wash AM& PM . 

Spirits .... Medium but peaked last night to and all time high when TOTTENHAM won ! Back down to medium now and from today has decided not to go into the office . 

This is what my husband is experiencing with his treatment so far  as some of you know is T1 N0 M0 of the vocal chord . 

I hope those of you going through the treatment ATM are doing ok and keeping your spirits up & those of you who have come out the other side thank you for always being there for us . 

Hugs Ginny. . X x Excuse any typos x 

Hi Joy oh well fingers x but if things change they will do it . 6 days and now then radiotherapy over just keep it in your mind that hubby may want to get back to normal quickly but it still takes time for all the radiation to leave our bodies ,some drs say 10/14days ! So far I haven’t been in touch with anyone who has been that lucky .i use this phrase a lot your body is like a radiator and the radiation has to leak out slowly .Drinks lots if water and a gentle walk  maybe rounds the garden to start without baby steps, we are all with you through this challenging time.

On a positive note just back from ENT consultant camera up the nose and all looking as it should plus no signs of any reoccurrence down there. Plus he commented in Hiw fit and healthy I was looking. So onward and uowards

keep I touch

Wonderful new Hazel . X x 

Great Ginny and sounds by and large coping and managing well.
Glad on slow release morphine and topped by oral morph when needed. Always said if painkillers needed then there is a solution and should be taken. Well in my view.

Only 4 to go so at least treatment ends soon and let hope recovery is not too bad.
Really good that weight being maintained at this stage and able to eat well. Also lucky no loss of tatste buds.

All in all, and in the main, all pretty normal at thi stage and would say he is doing remarkably well considering.

Footie this week has set off lots of pulses lol !
