Once a week, as part of the radiotherapy regime, I will be assessed by the radio-oncologist to check on my progress and managed any side effects. So far, I had undergone 5 sessions of radiotherapy. The patient before me was late and so I was able to have my session earlier followed by the assessment by the doctor. You can say that today was another regular session.
Physically, today was kind of a down day and I was really very lethargic and slept a lot. Practically slept for the entire afternoon after lunch and took another half an hour nap before dinner and after returning from church from communion arranged by Vicar. The pain is getting to be irritating but I am coping with it and it is also one of the reasons why I don’t feel like moving too much.
The medication that I am taking for the greasy stool seems to be working. I am passing motion less and the stool is no longer greasy. I am still monitoring the situation and if it does really work, I hope to be able built up sufficient energy to start gaining weight and be less listless.
God is watching us. Despite some reluctance, Nathan is slowing but surely adapting to childcare. He is somewhat cheeky and finds ways and means in order not to go to “school” like lying on the bed and refused to be changed and he still cries whenever my mom brings him to the childcare. However, once there at the childcare, he will cry a little and settle down in a few minutes and start participating in the activities in the childcare. Nathan also knows that Josie wakes up early so that she can leave the house without “disturbing” Nathan but nowadays, Nathan wakes up just as early in order to stick to his mother and refuse to let her leave for work or recently, to follow me to the hospital for my radiotherapy. Josie is coping too having to double up on watching after Nathan especially since we do not have a helper now but I know it is still tough for her having to hold down her job as well.
