Post radiation

Filed under: Uncategorized — Tags: , , — bencastan @ 08:05

Strange symptoms and sleepless nights.
Seems to be the way as I slowly return to my version of normality. Still having to be careful about what and when and how much I eat as the insides are still a bit tender and not at all recovered from this experience.

All Done

All done all twenety treatments are now complete. Now I have to wait eleven weeks to find out how successfull this has all been.
Hopefully in a week or so I shall be free of the side effects and starting to be normal (well for me) ..

Two tooo go

Filed under: Uncategorized — Tags: , — bencastan @ 10:49

Yes it is true only two more radiation treatments to go. I am feeling especially tired today but I think I can make it … How melodramatic.
Two to go excellent. I shall be looking forward to the next week and a half getting back to the world of normality and not feeling crap all the time.
I was feeling good on the weekend and wired up the shed office for TV and then mowed the back lawn now, there was a bit of a mistake. The next couple of days were very much below average as it made my nausea levels rise quite a lot. Oh well another of life’s lesson learned.

Radiation Treatment 14

Filed under: Uncategorized — Tags: , — bencastan @ 18:24

Fourteen down and only 6 more to go, 2 with this phase and four with phase2. Phase 2 seems to be to treat a smaller area and maybe, jut maybe it will not be across my stomach and not make me feel so well Crap.
It has taken several weeks but I have finally learned to eat just enough it seems the secret is to drink a lot of water and eat a small amount of food.

Radiation Day Something or other

Filed under: Cancer, Radiation Therapy, Uncategorized — Tags: , — bencastan @ 16:40

So now I am in the swing of this radiation thing. The weather is bleak and so is my attitude. Really it is my stomach that has a bleak outlook. I guess that as this goes on things will stabilize. Only 3 more full treatments to go and then we go to phase two which is a treating a smaller areas and will be lees intrusive..I hope.

I think it is day 13

Filed under: Uncategorized — Tags: , — bencastan @ 14:53

All these days are kinda blurring into one. Anyway I am doing ok so far a bit tired and I do find that a nap each day helps to get em through. More than halfway there now at 12 completed treatments out of 20 so I have been assured that this is the worst I should feel.
And just how do I feel, well it feels like a second rate hangover without the headache bit, although a touch of sinusitis sort of gave me a small one of those.
Now if could just stop the Neighbor form spitting 75 time a day that would be a good thing..
