Re: I've had my chest x-ray
I'm fine, more energy, but still a bit fatigued and prone to going to bed in the afternoons.
The pain in my back and neck is the worst thing, though. I see my G.P. on Monday.
I'll feel happier after I've seen the Consultant on Thursday and he has the results of my PET scan.
Cancer is scary, though, and I don't think I've fully processed what my body has gone through. A podcaster I liked has just died aged 53 after 9 months of brain cancer. Depressing, but I suppose it can happen to anyone. I have to hold on to the thought that while mine is incurable at least it is treatable.
Curiously, some months ago, my G.P. started a discussion about hospice care and what I thought. I'm not sure why she did this. Maybe my cancer is more dangerous than I'm led to believe. Still, I just take each day as it comes although all my days are about the same with my not getting out much. I did have a longish walk around the hospital on Thursday, though, the grounds and inside by the shops before I found the taxi rank. It's a much bigger hospital than my normal one.
The taxi was the kind that was cash only - I hate those but luckily there is an atm in the shop below me so was able to get cash there.
