A good visit to the hospital, despite the road closures making the journey there somewhat fraught, and the 75 min delay in the clinic. The consultant was happy with my scan results (apparently some activity was shown in the mouth, but that was just continued signs of healing). An no more scans! Unless I feel something new, or they spot anything at my 6 weekly checks, I'm off the hook.
And the PEG is out, which is a great relief.

Recovery Week 18
The new ulcers healed, more or less, eventually. My mouth is now not too bad again, and I'm eating mostly normally. I still can't open my mouth wide enough to eat a burger (other than a very thin one), in fact it seems like I might never be able to as my mouth doesn't seem to be able to open any wider, despite doing the exercises I was given.
Had a good weekend away, though a day out wears me out by mid afternoon which I had not expected. Tomorrow is check-up day when they will confirm the results of my first post-treatment scan (which at least can't be very bad, otherwise they would have called be in sooner). I was also promised my PEG out tomorrow, which I plan on holding them to - I haven't used it for over 4 weeks, so it is just an annoyance.
I am off work this week, hopefully celebrating the PEG tube removal and a clear scan. Slightly nervous, but cautiously optimistic all the same.
