Yesterday saw more activity and the eating of "heavier" foods.
I have been on the up since last Wednesday and just when you think that things are lightening a little that seems to be the point when the disease pulls the rug from under your feet.
I was very ill last night (physically) and then spent the rest of the day and night in bed.
Today I am trying to build the calories back slowly without taking risks and the good news is that I don't feel too bad, though I am not extending myself beyond the simplest of foods.
There was some other bad news over the Christmas period and that was that the scans show some nodal growths higher up the oesophagus (above the stent) and these are causing blockages when I am attempting to eat the heavier foods. This does not bode well for the future.
All in all, I am just happy that I managed a few decent days with my family when I needed them most and, for that, I am very grateful.
Really sorry to hear that Rumps...
ReplyDeleteHope you manage some more decent days over this festive period, you certainly deserve them my friend.
As you remarked before.. the cancer seems to be showing its metastatic traits with accompanied dysphagia. The two classes are of course squamous cell carcinomas, and adenocarcinomas, the latter largely forming lower down the oesophagus.
We are very similar my friend in various ways, and if you ever need to talk, then I am usually around your blog.
Please do not hesitate....
Take care
