Infinity bananas to you, but here's one to be going on with...

Hope anyone reading this who is going through the same nightmare themselves forgives me a banana or two but I feel like I've just deflated a giant stress balloon for the first time in many months.

Great news, are you drunk yet (and I don't mean that bulltulip about life) and pictures of the aftermath please! Oh and a big welcome to the 6 month club! long may you stay in it!

[NigelJK]

Well done. It'll take a while to get back to normal from 6 months Chemo.

Be very cautious about going to public places, even shopping etc. Catching a cold, or worse Flu, at this point would be very bad news. After my Wife's first session of Chemo we were visited by her sister. She had contracted a cold on the journey up and managed to give to my wife. She had 6 days in ITU, with me having to wear the full body suit to visit.

Yep, you are definitely allowed a banana

Update. Just had my oncologists appointment / treatment results.....

1. DON'T Got cancer
2. Having some 'issues' with the local constabulary
3. Wrote my car (and someone else's!) off last Friday
4. I live in Wales

Turns out I’m one of ‘the few’ with oesophageal cancer where the treatment was (as far as can be said) completely effective.

Got 6 monthly scans for the next how-ever many years to catch any recurrence early (might happen, might not - hopefully not!) but for the moment have been given the ‘all clear’ 😊.

And thanks for all the kind words and support; I don't want to come across as a soppy numpty, but it does mean a lot when you feel like tulip.

(1) Find out the treatment results next Wednesday; haven't had a drink since treatment started on 1st March - Wednesday it's going to be celebration or sorrow drowning down the pub either way!

(3) One 'silver lining', I now qualify for the 'mobility scheme' so have ordered a new car through them

(2) Police have accepted I can have my guns back after they took them off me due to (1) but now say I can't have them as a family member has MH issues (which the police have known about for 4 years!)

Fingers crossed for you and hope you get happy drunk, that's a long old stint on chemo.

[David71]

Congrats on the extension, how is the current chemo going (think a few months ago you mentioned you were starting a new run)?


However none of that excuses 2,3,&4. Stop Branding sheep and all that will go away!
