Update

I have had a few more check ups and all is still good.

Third check-up

I went this morning for my third follow up..... all clear! I go April 21st again and then end of June. They are being serious about this check up stuff! My neck is still slightly red and Dr.Sheehan said it might not ever completely go away. Like a tattoo to remind me every day....:(

Anyway,small update but a good one!

Have a great day, enjoy the sun!

January 21st

So, the second follow up went good! i looked inside cause he tood a picture with the scope and it looked really clean and pink. Less some mucus of course! gross.

Anyway, the next follow up is March 12th and then end of April so they have me going back a lot to make sure. My throat feels swollen inside a lot of the time, but that should get better.

thanks for reading!

I need support

Hi all,

I have decided to walk in the 2008 Weekend to end breast cancer. As we all know cancer affects us all in some way or another, so please help me achieve my goal of $5000.00 to help find a cure!

www.endcancer.ca is the site to go to and you can donate to Kimberley Thomas.

Anything helps, and I can't achieve my goal without your help!

I go on January 21st for my second follow up, keep your fingers crossed for me!

I wish you all a Happy New Year!

Wow!

I went for my follow up on Tuesday Dec 4th, and back down with the scope he went! and found nothing. a well healing throat!

I have been given the all clear and don't have to go back for a follow up until the end of January and very 1.5-2 months until they spread the appointments further apart.

I am off until Jan 2nd to finish the recoup properly, and my work has been fantastic about it. January and all of 2008 will be a great year!


Cheers,

Kim

hey!

Hi there,

I know some of you who have been following my blog still check in daily, I am afraid I no longer have anything to write.

I have finished my final Radiation treatment on October 25th and have just been laying low and trying to heal. My neck from the outside looks great! I had some peeling and it opened a little bit but I took very good care and it is still slightly red but for the most part I no longer look like a walking circus freak. Phew.

As for the healing inside, well let's just say it changes daily. One day my voice is good and strong and I feel pretty good and they it just changes and my voice is hoarse and dry and I get super tired and it's hard to swallow. I believe the healing is going well and will find out forsure if it all worked by the end of December. I am still off work and just recovering at my home, I am taking care of John's brothers dog so I have some wonderful company during the day who is making sure I get out for a little exersise everyday. We went to kit's beach for a bit yesterday, it was nice.

Look back here on New Years Day and I will post new pics and the results, until then.......have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Years Eve!

Final day!!!

This is treatment # 33, woo hoo! I saw the oncologyst for the final time on Monday, and he gave me a few more perscriptions as my neck could open up and I need to be soaking it with a solution to help. I'ts itchy. I took a few photo's this morning.

I am going to visit my nephews after my final 3pm appt and I think tomorrow I can actually sleep in.....I am so very tired and up so early every day. poor me right.

I thank everyone in their support, e-mails and comments. i read them all and appreciate each one.

I can't believe it's done!

I suppose I can't say remission until the doctors go back down to make sure it all worked, but I have faith.

Cheers!
