Update.
Out of hospital after 4 cycles of chemotherapy and 25 of radiotherapy!
The latter was brutal. I won’t know if the treatments have been successful, until further PETT scans later in the year.
Lost a lot of weight, but slowly trying to return to normal.
Drove my Mini today, just a short distance.
Using this opportunity to have the 4/4 at Berrybrook to do a couple of outstanding jobs that I couldn’t do easily at home.
Berrybrook being epic in the way they have helped.
Good support from local Community Nurses, but really glad to be out of hospital.
Not sure if I’ll make it to Hive Beach, it will be a late decision.
Thanks for all the good wishes.

One step at a time Bud. One day at a time. And home is the place to be for so many reasons.

Hi Bud, just like all the other wise men above, step by step! Glad you are at home and are able to do some "normal" daily things, and nice that Berrybrook is so helpful. The radiotherapy will especially make you feel tired. Therefore: step by step. It will be in retrospect that you can say it was all worth it. Keep faith! Warm greetings from The Netherlands!🙋🏼♂️

Update: Stanley is due to be returned by Berrybrook next Tuesday.  I’m enjoying being at home, deciding my own food intake, rather than in hospital, being fed via an NG tube. My progress, though slow, is on target and speaking to the doctor last Thursday, he seems pleased. I will have to wait until the third week in November to find out if the treatments have worked. (Scans etc). So fingers crossed 🤞. I was 70kg when I went into hospital (5kg over my ideal weight). I left hospital at 48.7kg and am now at 55kg. My target is to get to 65kg by the end of March. My next ‘target’ is finding out how challenging it is to use my 4/4 again. Another huge thank you to Berrybrook, who have been epic throughout in looking after Stanley. I’ll keep you updated.

Saturday morning. I’ve just re-read the recent post. I plan to no longer continue this thread. This site is ‘Talk Morgan’ so my next update will be once my 4/4 is back in my garage and I plan to make the title of the new thread, “Stanley in Pitlane” I’ll end this post by repeating how excellent Sean, Carl and all the staff at Berrybrook have been.
