Updates

Nothing funny in my post today so I thought I should start off with a bad cancer joke “I’ve just been diagnosed with a tumour. I was horrified at first, but it’s starting to grow on me” Anyway...

Managed to rest a lot more yesterday and felt much better because of it. Although I am very frustrated at how long it is taking to be able to eat. I am desperate to eat more food but the whole...

So I finally got out of the hospital and made it home. It was a very exhausting day as I settled in but was very good to have some sleep in my own bed. Unfortunately, being released from hospital...

A very exciting day for me as I finally get out of the hospital. All that needs to happen is the doctor needs to clarify some stuff with my dental scans and subscriptions filled for all the...

Yesterday was an ok on the recovery front but great on the news front. I met with the doctor in charge of my Chemo / Radiation and he passed on some potentially good news which should see me in a...

room with a view It’s been a good day and I continue to feel better and better. Apart from the need for a bit of Morphine at 3am for the last few days’ pain has been under control and I have...

Yesterday was a relatively good day where I managed to eat mashed potato (amazing I know!) and went for a walk beyond level 10 of St Vincent’s hospital which was even more exciting. Unfortunately...

Had the Nasogastric tube removed yesterday, although I was a little apprehensive if it would help with the Phlegm issue and swallowing it had a major effect? Within 4 hours of it being removed...

For more complete update make sure you read yesterday’s post here The cable is now out and am accelerating too getting out of here. Not only have I drunk about 100ml of fluids I swallowed some...

Finally a blog post from me instead of Kirsten on how I am progressing. Going into this operation I thought after a few days I would be fine to be browsing the internet, watching tv, have visitors...

I’m a bit late on the blogging for yesterday…Spiros was doing better and enjoyed a visit from Zoe. On Sunday they will take the feeding tube out so hopefully he will have nothing attached to him....

Hi all – no visitors tonight. Today the surgeon had a look down Spiros’ throat to check on progress. The good news is the throat is healing well, however the process of putting a strobe down his...

Not a lot to report. No real change from yesterday. Last night sleep was a challenge. Tomorrow he will have the doctors appointment to assess healing of wound. 2 Comments Rachelle 24th Sep 2015 -...

Spiros was in better spirits when I saw him this morning. They are upping the food through the tube and have removed the IV. He still needs rest and has had some visitors today already which was...

Spiros is a little better today. Talking is easier but still hurts. The pain and discomfort is still there. He is getting plenty of sleep which is really helping. Still no visitors today, but...

Today they put a tube in Spiros’ throat so they can start feeding him. It’s is making him feel really nauseous, is painfull against his swallon throat and the nose. He also can’t talk as well and...

Spiros had the best night sleep so far last night. In fact, when I went to visit he was asleep! Being the good wife, I did not wake him, so only have text messages to say he is feeling better and...

after a night of little sleep Spiros was is feeling a little worse than yesterday. He found out this morning that the tumour removed was the biggest the surgeon has ever removed, which may be why...
