Seems that while I sleep and my arm remains motionless it swells. That means waking up two or three times a night in pain. Once i get up and start moving,have a shower etc within an hour or two the soreness subsides. So it's a bit of a catch22. Jens regime to keep the baseline of pain relief set is working well so thats good. By spreading out the tabs better it seems to have stopped a lot of the profuse sweating that was a real nuisance. She is very good at coming up with plans like that and doesn't often get them wrong so I am grateful to her.
As mentioned before the next big date is 23rd August when we see the oncology consultant again to review whats going on and see where we go moving forward.
More of that when its done.
The sudden realisation that you have cancer hits you like a sledgehammer. On 9th February after 2 months of tests and all sorts thats what they told me. In more ways than one it's a life-changing moment and your mind goes into overdrive thinking all kinds of worst case scenarios.
