I'm Still Standing
I'm a quarter of the way through the chemo now and my bowel is almost completely blocked by the primary tumour so no solids until after the next cycle at least. I've also lost the feeling in both feet, apparently a reaction to one of the chemicals, so the beloved Beemer is parked. Still, having scanned the Cancer Research and Macmillan websites I consider myself lucky to have so few side effects.
The plus of all this is that I may not have to rely on the usual "pocket full of personality" upon my return as I'll be so lithe and desirable (although much more wrinkled) that the distings will just fall at my feet with no need for transport money. That is keeping my morale up at the moment anyway.
Hope you are all keeping well, and a word of advice for the over 45s; for goodness sake get scanned once a year, even if you have to pay for it. I could have been sorted a lot sooner and with much less pain etc if I had heeded that advice.
Take care and fly safe.
