I can’t begin to tell you how grateful I am to everyone who took the time to read and comment on our last posting, when I was diagnosed with oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma, ie throat cancer.
I was truly overwhelmed by the responses and cherish every one of them.
As an update, I am around halfway through the chemo radio process. I can’t deny it’s been a rough ride, but I’m getting there. I’m told there will be a period following treatment where the effects of the treatments worsen. The advice varies and the stories I read on the support group pages have become a bit off-putting to be honest.
Selina and the team have been nothing short of amazing and it’s hard to show how grateful I am. Drs Kathryn and Amanda are looking after everyone with exceptional care.
Hopefully I’ll be up and about soon and moseying about my beloved Fremantle again. I’m planning to be fine for the Grand Final!!
Take care all.
