What ever the outcome for you, you have gone your way and it helps healing. Not having to battle against the Establishment gives you more time to get on with Life!
Hospitals will feed patients what patients are used to eating - good or not. Several 'celebrities' have tried to re-orgnasise the NHS kitchens but from cooking in kitchens on each Ward, it was moved to a central kitchen and delivered by trolley to each Ward, before being out-sourced. Many of the foods offered weren't what I fancied anyway …….
How are you feeling generally?
Yes I agree - apparently there are research reports concluding that outcomes are better if the patient feels they have some control. I may have taken that a little too far in my consultant's eyes but it works for me. It's good that the NHS does allow us the element of choice though.
How am I feeling? Absolutely bloody well amazing
My cancer "therapy" has consisted to date of two 1 minute shots of xray therapy up my backside; lots and lots and lots of organic, nutritious food: a complete de-stress and delegation at work: and a lot of time spent away in my new campervan. A highly recommended approach.
It does make me smile when a number of old friends message me saying they "didn't realise I was poorly" - I'm anything but. I just have a rapidly diminishing little tumour where the sun don't shine. The trial in all this will be making sure it goes and stays away. I'm ready to rise to the challenge.
One thing that I did find rather strange in all this, not one consultant or medic has asked about the potential causes / background of my cancer, or looked at my lifestyle. At all. What a missed opportunity if this is the same for every patient they see - a significant piece of research missed. By ignoring the causes and just suppressing symptoms aren't we at more danger of a recurrence?
Curious.
