Back again

That Cisplatin seems to knock me around. The first dose put me in hospital for 2 weeks, the second time around the doc managed to control my white blood cells better and only had to stay in hospital for 1 week (just out now). Thankfully with the Erbitux, radiation cisplatin etc. my treatments are over, now is the time to wait and see how it all went. The neck swelling is down (larynx cancer) and I may be able to have trach removed soon.
Hope all of you have been as well as possible and on the road to recovery, I'm feeling pretty positive probably because the worst is over.
Regards Michael

Finally!
Congrats on finishing treatment! It's such a great feeling knowing you're done
Buckle up and get ready for recovery. You've read it here but the next few weeks are going to be pretty rough. The great news is it gets better. I'm three weeks out and finally starting to have halfway human parts of the day
Keep your hydration and nourishment in check and get plenty of rest. Great to hear the good news!
Positive thoughts and prayers

Take Care of Yourself
Now is the time to heal. I wanted to get going so bad I did not take the time to rest and recover
For me I learned that being a go getter and brave is foolish when the body says stop and revcover. Still in recovery here but if I pace myself I can work most of the day and eat OK.
You have reached a fantastic milestone and congrats on staying the course. Sorry it ws so rough, but as others have said when you hear NED you will be rewarded.
