Stepping it Up

I am still under the weather and a cold has added to my woes.

However, I made it into work for a short period today because I was scheduled to see the mad Canadian osteopath this morning.  I also saw him last Friday mornign and am trying to step up my positive contribution towards getting better.

This no-man's land between the end of treatment and being scanned again is tough. 

Yesterday, I managed to do some Chi Kung for the first time in a while and I hope to keep that going.  The physical position of the body in Chi Kung means that there is dynamic tension (especially within the legs) and that is good for legs that have been wasted away.

The worst of my physical problems has been constant griping in the abdomen and that could be caused by a number of reasons

• The effect of the radiotherapy on the tumour (which is at the junction of the stomach)
• The soft diet
• Constipation
• The cancer becoming secondary in my stomach

Hopefully the cause isn't the latter and the more I can do to keep my mind healthy the better.
