Radiation therapy complete; just got home from my final session.
I feel absolutely exhausted, but that's a small price to pay. The cool part is that even though the treatment itself has ended, the aftereffects will continue to kill the cancer cells for weeks to come; the radiation damages their DNA so they die off over time.
They reckon it'll be about 6 weeks til I go in for surgical removal; cos they're doing a nerve graft of the big main nerve in my leg, I'll need rehab to learn to walk again and may be left with impaired limb function, but again, small price to pay, I would've been fine with amputation tbh.
The war's not over, but this particular battle is. If all goes well, in less than two months I could be cancer free.
