Thanks Brad. I am very much at the beginning of the recovery process, a process that I am finding pretty frustrating as a normally very active person. The pain and tightness in my jaw is thankfully subsiding and this has allowed my speech and eating to improve. I still struggle with certain words and word sounds but I am due to start work with a speech and language therapist next week. My worst day was Monday as I had a panic attack brought on by having a headache. A simple headache terrified me and it took me a while to get over that. I felt totally embarrassed when my wife had to come home early from work and support me. The one thing I am enjoying is the extra time with the kids as I have realised how little time I have spent with them over the last few years due to work. Definitely a big regret.

@Penfold75 - Glad to hear your progressing with your recovery. Sending best wishes and positive thoughts your way.
As an aside I saw the perfect cancer T-shirt for people like us. Its a large orange construction sign on a black t-shirt that reads; Cancer Patient Reconstruction Zone. Reduce speed & obey instructions! On the back it's a smiley face with Have a nice day! over top of the face I just cannot find the website again to order it! |

Have started back on the chemo drugs and will commence a few sessions of radiotherapy next week. The plan at the moment seems to be to hopefully shrink the tumour using the treatments and delay the surgery for the time being. Other than that I have been using my time to research various leagues for FHM2 and doing a bit of beta testing on it as well (No questions, my lips are double and triple sealed)

I have had two friends diagnosed with cancer over this summer and both have successfully undergone treatments and surgery, so we are ALL survivors together. Funny how I lived my life knowing "people" got cancer and only some survived... Today it is a personal fight for me and I have total respect for those that go through this... Please remember that every day the sun goes up and the feet go down, IS A GOOD DAY! |
