ILO +21d

Well folks, it is now three weeks to the day since the Ivor Lewis surgery [ILO]. Weight 80.5kg. Feeling rather fatigued, but manage a walk each morning of about 1 hour. Lots of messages of support via the EC discussion group at ACOR.
Eating and keeping food down is a problem. My taste and smell senses seem hypersensitive. My appetite is much reduced and I just have a cup of food at each sitting. I am drinking Coopers Best Extra Stout to try and keep on some calories. My chest feels as though a shotgun has been fired into it and all the lead pellets are still lodged behind my ribcage. I am off all medication. Sleep is not comfortable. Lynne continues to give me the fullest possible love and support. Tomorrow I see the oncologist.
