Today is the 15th day of March.,Ides of March as its called.Went for my usual radiotherapy this morning and the place was unusually quiet. Most of the usual people doing radiotherapy had finished their treatment. Mine will be finished next Tuesday ie 20th March. How 6 weeks has gone bye in a blink of an eye. The next 1 week too will fly by and then the post recovery period shall start. I don't really know what to expect in this post recovery period. I was told today the effects of radiation lasts up to 2 weeks and full recovery perhaps 2-6 months. Wow that a long period of time to go through!
I am in good spirits and keeping an active interest in EPL and Champions League and what ever is shown on the sports channel. A bit of exercise eg walking around the garden or chipping golf balls. Nothing extraneous as I am afraid I need rest more than anything else. My weight has stabilized at 80 kg, so that's ok. Eating is still liquid 100%. My throat is still very very sore and swallowing is very difficult. That is why it takes me up to 30 minutes just to finish a bowl of soup. Never mind lah slow but sure I will finish it.
Over the weekend met up with several old school mates who drop by to say hello and I really appreciate that. Somehow its the friends you make in school that remember you very well.

Hi Shakil,
ReplyDeleteI have been keeping an eye on your blogs and watching you battle this and while it has been tough and something you wouldn't wish on anybody, you have shown the courage and strength that most of us wish we would have should the shoe have been ours to wear.
Two more days of rads to go and then the home run to recovery. Its been a tough and painful journey for this whole treatment but here's wishing you a very speedy recovery to where you were in your life before you had this very nasty interruption.
Best wishes,
Konan
If 6 weeks is a blink then 2-6 months is only 2 blinks. Before your 3rd blink, we will be golfing away a resort somewhere. Cheers
