Hiya Guys,
Thanks for your support, another step forward, back to work. I work in Human Resourcing, on the agency side, and got a really good role so a bit chuffed. Two weeks on boy oh boy, was I thinking I was fit and over fatigue....wrong haha. Anyway, straight back to early starts and getting out of bed at five am. All good but unlike before I really have to factor early to bed nights in and Sat is a lazy write off - all doable and great to be back in the real world, months of hospitals and home sort of leave you a bit shell shocked.
Next check end June. Neck dissection is main trouble but not big problem, stiffness, soreness, bumpy where lymph drainage isn't sorted yet but it gets a lot better and of course wobbly chin but things tightening up slowly. The exercises the docs recommend for throat and neck before and post radio really work if you keep them up. Coming up to year since symptoms in June, Diagnosis July and neck dissection last week august. Feels very unreal... sort of out of a dream. Maybe that's a bit lie PTSD, the downer following the stress, adrenalin high of body and mind being on alert etc...
How are all you guys doing...this is tough thing but being positive and more than anything, positive, be strict and take control of well being, leave the rest to the medico's was my way forward.
