With 24 treatments down and 6 to go I'm beginning to understand what this is all about. I just don't feel myself. It follows a different arc to recovery after surgery which has been my forte in recent decades.
I'm going to put pen to paper tonight and figure out some strategies and philosophies and mantras to help me get through at least the next three weeks. It's like all of us. We have big surgery, start to recover from that, then wham, chemo, radiation or both.

1996, ovarian cancer surgery + cisplatin and taxol.
September, 2007, SCC of left lateral tongue. Excision.
October, 2009 recurrence in scar tissue, T1NOMO. Free flap surgery from left wrist - neck dissection. 63 year old New Zealander. No chemo, no RT.
February, 2014. New primary in left buccal mucosa. Marginal mandibulectomy, neck dissection, right arm free forearm flap. T1N0M0 but third occurrence and some areas of concern: RT started 8 April and finished 19 May.
