So... what's the first thing you're putting in your face to celebrate? [assuming the treatment didn't completely bork your sense of taste]
My sense of taste is still affected and dairy products apart from cheese seem to be the worst and taste 'off'. Strongly flavoured or spiced foods are the best at the moment and I'm working through a list of things I made when I was on the liquid diet. Best so far has been the spicy meat Pizza's. Fish & Chips are on the list for the very near future. I was told my sense of taste would probably return to normal but it could take months or even years. I'm going back on my salad diet for the most part as I still need to lose at least a couple of stones. I expected to lose weight during the treatment but annoyingly the Dietician doesn't allow that to happen so I couldn't use the opportunity to do so.
If you or someone you know has the feeling of a chicken bone or a similar feeling of something stuck in the throat that lasts more than a day go to your GP. Ann visited my Osteopath today and apparently I'd mentioned this to him shortly before I went to see the private consultant. He had a patient who also complained of this feeling and told him about my experience. This person went to his GP and it turns out he also has throat cancer.
Am jealous of the racing stripe. I'm hoping that my beard does something like that as I become older and more jaded.
Don't know why but I got a vision of you like Peter Wright the darts player. He likes a stripe or two.
Mine looks like that. Badger badger mushroom mushroom ! though there is still a wee tinge of ginge in mine too.
Glad the scans have come back negative. The greyness shown on the endoscopy could also be scar tissue, so I wouldn't worry took much. I also have several scars from where Mrs crap has shot me; 2 in the shoulder with one being a thorough and through, then 3 in the gut.
