Life After Radiation

My radiation treatment finished three weeks ago.  Today I saw Dr Susan Carroll to check how things have settled down.  They have.  I am now only awaking once or twice a night and have even slept for as long as six hours.  All the discomforts relating to radiation have gone.

The benefits of the radiation will not be known until Dr Chris Young performs a flexi sigmoidoscopy on 30 June, after which I will write my next blog entry.


I have been home alone for almost two weeks while Barbara has been visiting family in her hometown of Fredonia, New York State.  Half the Heyco family visited too.  At the same time, part of our family was in Asia.  Only six of us remained in Australia.  Unusual for me to be one of those in Australia.  I am glad I decided not to go with Barbara to the US.  A quiet time at home has been good for recuperation.
