Hi all! Its been awhile since I have posted though I do come back and check on the board every now and then. I just hit my one year anniversary from treatment last week. I can't believe where I am right now compared to where I was last year at this time. Life is just about back to normal (my new normal that is) however its pretty close to my old normal. I am eating and drinking most things. I have even started to run a couple of miles a couple of times a week. My saliva comes and goes but its soooo much better than what it was. I found that a few months ago I was still dealing with such anxiety about the "what if's" when I had any ache or pain, so I found myself a therapist. IT HELPS!!! My last scope and chest x-ray came back clear and I have my PET scan scheduled in a couple of weeks so for now I am not going to fret about that. |

about facial pain, as I'm only 3 months out of treatment for NPC...You did, however, make my day talking about all the improvements you've had in the last year :). More taste, more saliva...eating and drinking most things. Running...which says your energy has pretty well come back (I'm still SO tired)...I suffer from the what if's, too...but have had only one PET scan...if I start getting "attacked" by my own thinking, tho...I'll check into getting help with that also.
Thanks for stopping in!!
