Christmas Day

Christmas Day 2017. Well, that went well. In spite of 4 weeks ago today being told that it was highly likely I had Melanoma, the whirlwind of emotions and fears and confusion as I ordered and wrapped Christmas up prior to my Hospital admission a week ago.

1 week post plaque insertion. I still have slight double vision, blurred focus and the flickering from the tumour is still prevalent in my peripheral vision. The eye is able to open a little further with every session of drops and I’m becoming more positive that my sight will restore to a level that is acceptable.

There’s been less tears today too- I guess the drugs are exiting my system making way for clearer thoughts. I am lucky I tell myself. I have a reasonably early diagnosis with a lifetime treatment plan in place. Finding positive thoughts and allowing the radiotherapy to do its magic.
