Back to Reality: So, this week, after a glorious three weeks of vacation, it is back to reality. Work, dealing with cancer and the weight gain after weeks of eating EVERYTHING in sight and no working out at all ;-) First things first - How am I doing healthwise? I am not feeling great, but not horrible either. It’s been two and a half months now that we don’t know for sure whether the cancer is progressing, or not. Hopefully new scans will tell in another three weeks. In the meantime, it is basically a constant state of coughing, shortness of breath, fatique and some chest pain that comes and goes. It gets worse for a few days and then just as I start stressing badly, it gets better for a few days, giving me hope. How on earth are you suppose to live with this bloody sword over your head Every.Single.Day? Cancer progression does not tend to be up and down, it is typically a one way street downwards, so that gives me some hope that it is other issues related to the pretty invasive surgery I had. On top of that I caught some kind of bug in South Africa that caused, guess what, a lot of coughing, shortness of breath and fatigue. Just my luck. So, I don’t know whether it is cancer, other stuff, or some sort of african chest bug…maybe a bit of all of the above…but the bad thing is that being sick in South Africa for a few days unfortunately stopped me from being able to see some friends and family members I really wanted to ☹ More on the rest of the trip later…it was very meaningful and awesome.
