Have seemed to come out of a "Chemo fog" today. Hope i get a holiday from it until
round 2 which start's Jan 10th.

X3 has been faultless so far and felt good climbing into it today. Was well enough to go drive for supplies.
Went the long way round to get proper warmed up etc.
On getting out i was thinking what a brilliant purchase.
Yes, yes i know i could have spent 10 x more and got a 100 x better car, but could not think of one reason why i would want to do that.

So all good

Sorry to hear you're not well Sean.
Hopefully things improve.

Sounds like you got a bargain X3.

Update:

Workhorse X3 got to earn it's keep today.

40 mile roundtrip for Hospital appointment's. Took about 3 hours in total.
Flood's, tree's down, mini mud slid's, police blocaded roads, diversion's. Parked it back up absolutely filthy

Meeting with Radiotherapy team this morning, had face mask moulded and had CT scan done with head clamped down in the mask.
Was quite comfortable so happy not going to be an issue come the start of Radiotherapy.

A very tough time of life, you mentioned radiography coming up as it turns out I'm going in tomorrow to be fitted with another restraint for a one shot go of a second recurrence, on the other side this time. Not funny but they also tattoo marks on my chest and it bloody hurts! Don't think I'll be going to our local parlour for any. All the very best to you.

Very best of luck with your second pop at it.

ekimj10, Morning "Young man"

We are family

Been told by nurse to get Moisturiser, for the Radiotherapy burning, have ordered.....
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B09 ... UTF8&psc=1
+
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00 ... =UTF8&th=1

Any products you have found effective ?

Not being vain i have no knowledge of these things. Non perfume obviously.

==

The Z4 will get a run out Friday, have an appointment with the throat nurse, hopfully getting tips
on swallowing. If i can continue to eat real food and not be 100% reliant on the PEG, stomach feeder, this would be a massive bonus.
I received a letter yesterday and again it quotes this PEG / feeder may be a permanent fitting

Mouth: Still a bit wierd, i keep forgetting teeth are not there

Stitches are dissolving, keep picking bit's off the tongue. Gum's are fine, may get adventurous at weekend and see what
foods can been managed.

All good

Cheers Sean, that is a very heart warming message and absolutely true and genuine.
I just felt a little guilty taking some of the support from your post. Without doubt a unique bunch of people contribute to this Forum.

I would ask the medical team what they would recommend as it can be a bit of a mine field as to which product you should be using
