Ddcoo recovery from radiation

[Ddcoo]

Thank you all for your replies to my last post and for all your good wishes for recovery. I have had a very lazy week since my last session of radiation, I have been very tired and the roof of my mouth where the tissue has broken down has been painful and I resorted to pain killers for the first time. Today, after a sore start I am feeling a lot more like the old "Di", so maybe I have reached the peak of the bad stuff and can now get on with the slow recovery.

Now that I have finished with Leeds hospital I get transferred back to my original hospital for ongoing check-ups for the next 5 years. I am to have my first check up on Thursday 18th April and will probably have to go once a month for the first six months and then if everything goes OK, it should be scaled down to every 3 months.

I know recovery is going to be slow, but I am on the right side of it now and again I want you all to know how important you have been to me especially for the support when I have been feeling down. One good thing to come out of this is the fact I have lost over two stone, but I need some new clothes now. What an ordeal!!!

I send my thanks and best wishes to all of you. Love Di x

Yay, ddcoo..... I missed your post earlier otherwise I would have been in to babble on here this afternoon. So good to hear from you as ever, Mrs Inspirational Lady.
That darned radiation really has done some damage to you hasnt it? I am always impressed with your strength in fighting all this and your positive attitude.
What can I say???? That in a world where I see so much frantic activity and people stressing over little things that really don't matter, in such a complex life......every now and then a little peaceful window appears when time almost stands still. It's calm and tranquil. All the rushing abut seems to stop.
For me, reading your posts and thinking about what life must be like for you at the moment helps me ignore the frantic world outside, that busy noisy place fades away and just doesn't matter. Instead I am able to focus on what really matters in a crazy world.
What really matters is people. People like you who quietly go about their business while fighting battles and overcoming huge obstacles. All accomplished with such grace. To you my lady I take off my hat and bow my head in admiration.

Di hasn't been on her computer but I have just spoken to her and she is very tired this week (understandable) I will print the messages off and send them to her.

I sent Di the messages I printed last week and she thanks everyone, she enjoys reading them and is grateful for all your support. She is still very tired. Hopefully she will start to pick up and improve soon. I am amazed at how she still manages to keep her wonderful sense of humour no matter how bad she feels :D
