Had my first dizzy spell today. I was getting up from bed to have some lunch and was walking to the living room when I lost all balance. I was trying so hard to keep up right but my legs refused to cooperate. I ended up landing on my arse, so thankfully no damage. I think the radio therapy is really taking its toll on me. I only have 7 more sessions and then the radio is finished. I will then have another 5 weeks of chemo to go.
I'm back in hospital for the whole of next week. Visitors are welcome. How has life been treating you all? I've lost touch with the outside world a little bit. Oh, and thanks for the generous donations for Priya's challenge.

About Me

- I have had an esophogectomy and partial gastorectomy in 2007. This blog is a place holder for all the advice and tips I have gathered over the years. They are not intended to replace any medical advice. You should always consult your doctor before making any changes. I know there are others out there trying to find solutions to the same issues as myself. Maybe we can help each other. I have had a number of symptoms to deal with including Early Dumping Syndrome Late Dumping Syndrome Excessive Weight Loss Nausea Vomiting Bloating/Wind Pain Tiredness

Hello Jay,
Kevin (Tuesday Club) has told me about your blog so we will be reading it regularly from now on. You should remember me from Kevin's 60th when we spoke at length (in fact I probably bored the pants off you!) about flying. The other part of 'we' is my wife, Eileen. I think Kevin gave you last year's Pilot magazine 'where to fly' guide, hope you found it interesting. I now have this year's one which your welcome to have if you want it. Let me know if you do and I'll get it to you if you let me know how.
Right, now the important stuff!!! Your enthusiasm for flying at the pub that night was very infectious, so I want you to get well enough to come flying with me. When you do, you can fly the aircraft and see if you are able to resist learning yourself once you have! I don't know how far you have to go before you would be able to fly with me, perhaps your doctors could advise you. If you can get into a car you can get into a Cessna!
Take good care of yourself and don't forget my offer!!!
Regards, Andy & Eileen
