Its been some time since i posted but thiught id update. I know just how hard recovery is
Then setting about finding our new normal. Im 2 years remission next month, saw the docs this week, after the ysual camera up the nose malarket, he told me that after 2 years, the odds of the cancer returning drop dramatically. I practically skipped out the hospital. As for eating, my diet is still very limited, cant eat meat such as a peice of chicken but can ear a sausage roll. Prob because its fatty crap. Have progressed to scampi but not a puece of fish. Trust me, tgese are leaps forward to where i was. Apoarently, theres a lot of scar tissue from the radio at the back of my tongue, so basically where i am now is about it. It still takes forever to eat and my diet is still suppkenented by ensures to keep weight on. I try not to touch them on a weekend when i have the luxury of more time to eat and to nake sure i get the nutrition. I do drink alcohol, apparently many cant tolerate it. I ciukdnt touch prosecco, chamoagne etc, its jyst too too much. Im feeling brilliant in myself and gave adapred to my new normal. Its a long slog...but life is for living heh. I wish you all the very best, wherever you are on in your journey to recovery. Onwards and upwards..Kathleen...ps in my darkest and most difficult says, my mantra was akways.... 'ths time will pass' my lowest monent was hanging over the toilet vomiting with blood seeping out of my cheeks...this was because of an extreme reaction to an alternative drug to chemo, as i only have 1 kidney my body coukdnt take tge chemo, i only had 1 session
Take care all Kathleen x
