Hi Trev,
Good to hear from you. I was very moved by the beautiful words written by Deborah really helps to put things in perspective. Keep the jokes coming too. I will pass the latest Scottish one onto my youngest son who has just started studying in Edinburgh.

Take care

Ken

Hi Chris

Great news to hear all these wonderful experiences. I'm 6 months RT but stil improving everyday. I've heard great things about salagen and would love to hear how you get on with it. I'm pushing my doc to prescribe it but he doesn't appear to keen for some reason.


TAke care

Hi Ian
Sorry I've taken so long to reply. I've been busy at work and then suffering from sinusitis. I'm a bit disappointed in Salagen, as I haven't found a vast improvement, but it's still early days and it depends on the extent of the radiotherapy.

Checks were monthly for the first year and have now changed to two monthly for the second year. Apologies for delay in posting

Hi Chris
Long time, no hear. Glad you're back in the loop. If you have ongoing problems with sinusitis, try horseradish and garlic tabs or capsules from the health food shop. There is a real story there but believe me, the stuff is majic and you aren't putting any more drugs into your system.
Take care and have a great Christmas.
Deborah

Hi Deborah
I am on the garlic capsules due to my chemist, but am also on antiobiotics. I don't think I could eat horseradish if that's what you meant, as my mouth is still too sensitive from the radiotherapy. Cards now done, so back in the loop and off work until 5 Jan.

Hope you're keeping well. Love to Trev and have a great Christmas.

Chris

Hi Chris
I'm with you ~ I haven't had the problems you have had and I couldn't eat horseradish if my life depended on it! We can get a combined garlic and horseradish tablet from the health food shop so I'm sure you would be able to as well. I had three surgeries for chronic sinus infections, and the last one was a big one, but still the problems was there 5 weeks post op. Someone at work put me on to the g and h pills and I was completely free of symptoms when I went for my post op visit. Of course the dr was very happy with his work! I don't think so!
I wrote my first Christmas card last night! I wasn't going to do anything this year but yesterday I put up my advent calender ~ better late then never so they say and also a couple of decorations. Today I will reply to all of the cards we've received and by Thursday I think I'll be in full swing for the festivities.
We also had friends here for dinner last night and hell it was great. So nice to have a 'normal' time with friends. Nice food, nice wine, great company and in the middle of it all was Trevor enjoying the same things. No wine for him but he did knock back a couple of brandies ~ and didn't that give him a rosy glow!! I can't remember when we last enjoyed normality!
Love
Deborah
