I first realised something was wrong when out for a meal with relatives. I had difficulty swallowing food at the start of the meal and a succession of hiccups. Everyone thought it was a hiatus hernia but it turned out to be more than that. This blog is a summary of my journey through the system.

After Effects
Once you stop taking chemotherapy drugs, what I hadn't realised was the side effects that come along simple because the immune system has been compromised. So apart from the rampant diarrhoea for 2 weeks, I have also got thrush, dry eyes and a constantly runny nose. According to my GP, these will get better in time. However, having got all theses issues I never bargained for, the chemo does appear to have some effect in shrinking the tumour in that I can now eat more or less anything but some of the tastes are still weird.
