Eating Improvement Continues its Ascent

Things are starting to move for me now.

I have had two solid meals today, both of them of the  mashed potato and mince or tenderised meat variety.  However, this is something that I couldn't have countenanced a week ago.

I am drinking Ribena, which would not have been possible because of the acidity and I am also drinking chocolate shakes as well as strawberry.  These were also out of bounds due to acidity.  It is a good job that I can now have the variety as the strawberry ones are now difficult to get hold of.  Our local chemist was busy ringing around on our behalf on Friday afernoon.

The whole process of eating is less painful and the tumour is generally less painful.

Whilst the wider picture is about how well the radiotherapy has worked in reducing the tumour, rather than how easy it is for me to eat, having day to day life become easier is a welcome respite from the torrid waters of the last few weeks.

I am in the office tomorrow morning and the fact that I am getting more calories in and my energy levels are better gives me much more confidence in thinking that I will be able to navigate the morning successfully.  This is of particular significance as I am doing a presentation to people that I have not met before.  That takes a little more thought and demands a degree of "slickness" to make a good impression.
