26 October 2016
With today's radiation treatment I also had a meeting with the nutritionist and the oncologist. They were happy that I hadn't lost any more weight. The meetings were early so we were home by noon and the afternoon is for a nap and then visitors.
I had an email exchange with my university supervisor, mentor and long time friend Ray Meddis. He had been on a recent tour of Scotland and he sent me the image below. Photography has been one of my hobbies since a I was a teenager. I eventually learned to develop and print my black & white photos and now I have a vast digital archive of over 33,000 images dating as far back as 1914. But in all my photos I can't think of a better one that reflects my feelings at the moment. The landscape is dark and forbidding but the Sun is breaking out just around the corner bringing blue skies, warmth and hope.
My day started out with sunshine but the clouds rolled in for a stormy evening. Quite randomly after the radiation I have acute jaw pain like toothache and this afternoon it returned so the friend visits had to be postponed. My best friend right now is an ice pack! The important thing to remember is that nothing lasts and the sun will come again.
