I was looking back at the first post I did, and see that that was only written 18 months after Geoff first had cancer. So we have been battling bits of cancer since 2014. It's a hell of a long time! This weekend I was feeling quite despairing about the effect the radiation has had. He says his tongue feels like biltong and the inside of his throat is lined with little blisters. He slept all day Saturday and most of Sunday. I thought this is it, he has to be hospitalised now. But he said no, he is seeing the doctor on Wednesday so will wait until then. Things go alright if he is feeling okay, but as soon as he gets depressed it is awful! UPDATE: Well, I went along with Geoff to the newest plastic surgeon (well, to Dr Landau at Kingsbury Hospital) and he had Geoff's file with him. What do you know? His first op for the first pleomorphic sarcoma was in 2011, says Dr Landau. Well, it just shows you, I don't know where the time goes! What? We've been battling cancer for seven years? And now the radiation is making its insidious self felt.
