Still not sure what is going to happen.
Had a few swollen places and skin problems but nothing worrying.
Lost a lot of weight. 91 Kgs down to 68 Kgs. Broken bones not helping me get about.
Got to face it, try to do what you can and enjoy what time you have left as otherwise you are just wasting what time you do have.
The treatments were changed after the specialist told me I had months rather than years to live. I have two tablets every 24 hours on low pain relief. 2 tablets at 09.00 to try to hold the cancer in the bones from spreading and a tablet of calcium and vitamin D to suck to strengthen bones. Then during the day I can have pain killers at 09.00, 013.00, 017.00 and 21.00 but now have it down to 21.00 only. Then one small tablet at 21.00, 2 small tablets at 21.45, an calcium and vitamin D as well, then two tablets to make me go to the toilet plus 2 to soften. Then I take 40 billion bacteria, 375 mg of magnesium and a gram of collagen per day and I have felt much better being able to walk 100 metres and stand to shave
The pain killers have helped a lot although they make me feel like an old man. The treatment have caused me constipation and it is painful spending over 4 hours on the loo. Otherwise I have not had too many problems.
Yes
Because I am feeling so much better and the specialist reckons I could last up to a year now
Certainly better than cheimo which is a thing I do not want unless I have to.
