Kev,

I've only just seen this post.  I hope the surgeons got it all, and that the radiation isn't too traumatic.  Good luck for quick healing xx

Thanks, Wendy. All good, just got home from second dose of Zappo. One to go.
Rad treatment is only for a few minutes, but leaves one feeling a bit weary.
Med staff assure me that this is normal.

Having an early night tonight, appointment at 8 tomorrow morning for the third and final dose of irradiation. Should be home before 8.30.  :thumb

Next visit is to see a surgeon on the 26th, re a patch up of my busted gut (umbilical hernia) Should get a date for the surgery at that visit.

Thanks for well wishes everyone. Had final dose of radio therapy last Saturday, and all stitches will come out next Friday.
Have appointment with a surgeon to tackle umbilical hernia in two weeks, but that is only a relatively simple procedure, and will probably be home within two days of op.

Strange stuff, that radiation therapy.... five minutes worth, and it makes you feel as tho you have run a marathon while drunk, instead of having just walked down the hallway?  :o :o  (affects balance as well!) My buddy drove me home from the hospital, and I slept for several hours .

I had the umbilical hernia done a few years ago, in and out the same day. Just don't lift anything heavy for a few weeks after. All the best.

Beer lifting is not on my personal agenda, but I love a good milkshake or a fruit smoothie.

 Stitches will all be removed tomorrow.

Home again after back and scalp patch threads removed, I can now pull on a shirt without it catching on stitches, and I don't have to wear a beanie under my helmet as padding anymore.  A further 11 days now, before next round of visits with doc/surgeon for tummy patch.

Had a quiet little ride around town today, all seems good, but the scalp has not yet closed over fully, still a bit weepy. Probably ok in another few days or so. Back is ok, no problems there, not that I can wear a backpack yet tho.

Best not to try and rush the recovery.  Too much too soon and you can delay things considerably.  Very one takes as long as it takes to heal,  the best a doctor can do is give a rough estimate for recovery

Kev, just found this thread .. Not on the old computer as much as I used to be....

Mate ... Welcome to the club, of course a membership you don't want to be a part of.... I haven't had radiation therapy for my cancer but 19 months of chemo with a session every fortnight, over 40 rounds of chemo and no end in sight, well, just no end until the end.

All the best mate, all I can say is keep a positive attitude no matter what the prognosis is, live your life as normally as you can ... Hopefully yours is curable and only a small hiccup in life's journey.

Thinking of you Kev, I'm not a religious man so positive thoughts sent your way....

Sabie
