Hi how is your husband doing? I know your post was a year ago but looking for hope as my daughters FIL has just been diagnosed exactly the same x

Hi, You are ALL  WAY TOO QUIET!  Hopefully a good thing but updates please, Ian Hazel, lady from Gala, Newlymarried, Oscar Dave and all others.

True its been very quiet TFS I  hope everyone is well and still progressing, Im fine apart from the persistent  build up of gunge at the back of the throat but cant complain at all really.

How time flies, this time last year I was having scans and the biopsy.

Dave

Awww Graeme are you missing us lol !!

I thought was quite a good think giving you all a break from my rants and also having us all decode Hazel's posts into real sentances.

All good here and I'm feeling fabby.. Lost good healthly weight and feeling ( and looking ) out of this world.

At health club about 3/4 times a week exercise and jacuzzi etc and no issues with food etc although Im on health kick with all meals and plenty fruit.
Still drink a lot of water and think part of new normal and here to stay but small price to pay,
Still a little niggle with my gums and trying to get bottom of and even have another PET scan next Thursday but consualtant says just lets have a look but dont expect to see anything.
Have dental consultant Jan so between them should sort out this minor niggle.

Back at work and taking bad with snowflakes and sensistive wee souls nowadays and about time I was retiring but that apart mojo and brain back working.

I think my anniversary of a year ago when treatment stopped is in a few weeks and distant memory of what we went through. So many positive stories on this thread and I'm so pleased for everyone and it was like a little club and community spirit when we all tried to help each other at our various stages.

Booked my beloved Tenerife for next year so hope to come and visit you and aim to start twice a year again therafter as love Las Americas.

But nice touch Graeme and thank you for asking on thread and like yourself I hope everyone is contunuing to live normal healthy happy lives.

Hopefully others will pop in to update and I'm sure Hazel defo will update with something for us to decode.

Onwards & Upwards

Ian
 

Hi Graeme 

Am still in Spain another 2 weeks cycling great nearly 800 k so far. Weather still holding up blog had nearly 11000 guests thus year alone. Would u believe a lady from same  village as he has been put in touch she’s joined our club !!! She’s just in process  if getting treatment plan am arranging to meet up on return . Won’t mention nan u Dave help me out please. Where are we going wrong !!!

Saliva getting there still use xyimelts at night how about you ? 

H who still can’t tyoe Lol  xxxx

Nice to hear from you all and such positive reponses. Like Dave i still get a bit mucous and dryness at very back of mouth, and like Hazel the xylimelts are great for sleep and long journeys too.

Ive done a lot past 4 weeks, Amsterdam toDublin/ Donegal then on to  Edinburgh was one trip. Then i looked at getting on our fav cruise which was not within reach this year we didnt think, but  i felt up for it. Was sold out. Then 2 days later a few from USA cancelled with the Barcelona problems, so we booked Weds and sailed Sun. Was great, less drink than before, chooseier on food but i found it hugely emptional, was 1st anniversary of surgery and 8 months post treatment that week. Was such a tonic that i came straight off the ship and booked the cup semi final in Glasgow so im just back!

A mad few weeks, but i saw a window before starting work again and jumped through it, back to work this weekend to start paying for it all!

And Mr Ian, just wow! There were times a few months back where it was getting you down, now off the meds and you are you again, so pleased, see you over here then!

The lady from Galashiels hopefully will update too, and some others who were starting the journey around July. Hoping for more positives. As Hazel would say," tkla snoo"......(talk soon)!! :D

Love that one !
