hope everyone are getting on ok with their running and training.
just aquick update on the treatment.this week sees the start of my 3rd week of radiotherapy. so far no loss of hair.nurses told me if it was going to fall out it should have fallen out last week. so still have my long dark locks of hair.i havnt had a haircut since December 2011.id be a liar to say it has been OK. it hasn't.the radiotherapy knocks you for 6. ive lost my appetite bit,which is unusual for me. Ive had a few bad days but you have to plougho n thru thick and thin.with the weather getting warmer and signs of flowers popping up all over summer and spring is coming.
thanks for the birthday wishesvlastweek. i had a great day thanks while at home we received a call to tell us treatment had to be put back a week. starting 23rd Feb until 4th April now.
WELL i start the biggest race of my life tomorrow and I'm ready for it.6 weeks of pain and possibly hurt coming up. Bring it on.Thanks for all your support and encouragement since sept5Th 2011. Tomorrow isn't the end its just the beginning.Pain is temporary quitting lasts forever.see you all soon wiTh or without hair.

fiona-i was at the rvi yesterday giving blood.on the subject of where the right side of my skull is. i assume its been stored away securely.I'm either going to get a titanium plate put in. or a plastic mould of my skil put in.
personally i don't mind which.i know I'm going to have a belt er of a scar.
Mandie-Sorry no haweswater half this year.hopefully next year
been to freeman today for a ct scan to check my mould is ok for radio therapy. seemed to go well.got a wee break from hospitals now until 15thfeb for ct scan.then the start of treatment on the 16th. all at the freeman on XLs doorstep.
all the best to those out jogging, walking,running,enjoy it,becuse you never know when it can be suddenly taken away from you.Ive just been recharging the batteries since sept 2011. ONCE im fit to run again watch out for pbs. im used to large amounts of pain now.
cheersmate. when i had my biopsy in december the surgeon had to remove the right side of my skull. so when the treatment is finished i need to go back into hospital rvi to get my skull put back in.the date has still to be arranged,hopefully it wont clash with the 9th june. if i can make it mate i'll be there.Went to sainsburys for my dinner today.you know where it is.im back at the freeman tomorrow and friday.
