I am feeling stronger every day post surgery, and having some very good days so far- which is brilliant. I am a little tired and my mouth feels like it has been pebble dashed (very rough and weird) but aside from that and losing some taste buds I have been pleasantly surprised how well I feel.
The whole thing about chemo is its unpredictability- some folk take to their beds for 18 weeks and some (for that read Jane Tomlinson!) can apparently manage to cycle across Africa whilst in the middle of treatment. It seems that given 6months to live motivated her into learning to run- and she went on to complete 4 full marathons and an Ironman............
Not sure a marathon is high on my agenda as a 'must do before I die' activity- but I am motivated to think through what I might do instead.
My life just seems slightly more mundane- kids have been off school for ages (go back tomorrow) and then I have a mountain of paperwork and accounts to tackle- can't quite see how I drop it all to go jump off a cliff or sail the Atlantic!
Any suggestions ?
