One year jitters

Roar

Well I am getting ready for my one year go round. Next week I start off by seeing my radiation doc, then make the appointment for the scan, then the ENT AND AFTER ALL that THE DENTIST. Well it's been a year and this is where I am at

 1- voice is raspy and still can't tolerate very cold weather as throat gets sore easily

2- mouth still dry at night and thick salive during the day

3- still spitting up crap after I eat( but thankful I can eat)

4- mouth is still very sensitive to alcohol and spicey food even anything carbonated

5- ringing in the ear and hearing loss

6- neuropathy in my feet - but is getting better

7- I feel fatigued a lot more easily than I use to be- although I am getting better in is area- working 3 or 4 consecutive 13 or 14 hour days just knocks the crap out of me- I am learning to manage my time more efficiently so I do not need to work so long so many days in a row. Unfortunately being a construction manager in NY city requires a lot of dedication

on the good side the lymphodima has gone away under my chin- I have about 75% of my taste back- I have gotten my with back up to 180- I actually have to watch because I dont want to put it all back on- I was 190 before cancer and went down to 159 And of coars I am alive and cancer free as of my last check up  I have been working out and building up muscle and overall I feel good- just a little nervous about the yearly check up as my doc says this is the big one

One year jitters

congratulations on the one year anniversary!   sounds like you continue to improve and 3 or 4 13 hours days in a row would make anyone tired!

 

 Good luck with all the visits next week,

Roar,

From what I read it is mostly in your head (lol).  I commend you on the long days, my energy is still lacking.

Have a good 1-year exam!

I was tired after reading

I was tired after reading your post:) On the serious side. You will have that anxiety everytime a checkup comes round unfortunately. I am praying for great results and that you slow down and smell the roses once in awhile. Life is to short:) to spend it all working.

The jitters get to all

of us.  If I was better at handling scans, I'd share my tricks, but alas....I'm a nervous ninny like no other at scan time.  I'm getting one on Tues, the 14th....and have been sitting up by the ceiling fan for a week.  

The bright side....when it's over and you get your NED, it's a celebration day!!

Hi Roar ..

Good to see you on here.

 

Your post reads almost identical to where I am at .....with a few things differnt.  You actually have more taste than I do, I don't have so much crap  to spit up but for the morning time.

 

My  2 year anniversary is this month....All I can say is I know how you feel, but we are going to go in and meet Mr. NED again!  So hang in there and happy scans to you .

yep, whispered that prayer all will go well with you.
