Well it seems Stage 1 was successful - we've not heard otherwise! So Stage 2 is still on for Thursday/Friday... Excited and scared in equal measure! 7 days of (more or less) quarantine might be tough...
But before then we recommence chemo (Folfox) tomorrow, Tuesday. I hope I'll cope with this continuing abdominal pain, which is generally better for sitting down. And, thank goodness, we've confirmed with my surgeon the pain is indeed just the normal internal healing process.
However, last Friday we managed to get to our physical therapist, who worked a minor miracle on my tummy and abdomen, using craniosacral therapy. In the same class as Bowen and Reiki, for me and for whatever reason, CST had a really calming and easing effect, reducing (relaxing?) the tummy pains for a good 12 hours... so effective was it, I'm going back this afternoon in the hope it can set me up for the rest of the week!
Chemo, Radio, MAB... the fightback restarts here!!!
Ian, hang in there bro.
ReplyDeleteIs there an ETF for all these procedures you're going thru?
