@jacoavlu:

we'll be thinking of you Geo
though I don't have a lot of worries about your spirits
best to you

thanks J - all appreciated but no worries on my part

[Geo]

Here's a little extract from some of the information you get:

"Below are some of the long-term side effects that can occur . . . etc"
• Hair loss can sometimes be permanent or new hair growth may be a different colour or texture. * . . . too late for me
• The skin can feel different or may be darker than before. * . . . and that's a bad thing Seul?
• Infertility – if the ovaries or testicles are within the treatment area. * . . . not bothered there (see next line)
• Swelling in a limb or on the body (lymphoedema) because lymph nodes are damaged. * . . . result (if it's the correct 'limb' and combined with previous line)!
• Shortness of breath – radiotherapy can make the lungs less stretchy. * . . . nah - compensated that issue when i was a kid
• Narrowing of the vagina. * . . . huh?
• Difficulty swallowing due to a narrowing of the gullet (oesophagus) or reduced amounts of saliva. * . . . Damn - a straw in my beer isn't good . . . so there is a downside!
• Frequency passing urine because the bladder can become less stretchy after radiotherapy. * . . . not likely to be a feckin' problem if i can't any beers down my neck!

so it seems i'll still be bald, but tanned, (even) better endowed and sober . . . just need to sort the alcohol thing and it'll be the new improved Geo

mate, medical people always say booze is contraindicated whatever you're being treated for. You can safely ignore that bit. (Disclaimer: Hectic may just be talking shite). Chin up geezer.x

You could just bath in beer… That'll get ya drunk!.. I'll come help fill the tub although you might find it to fill up a lot slower than when you do it yourself...

Just hang in there Geo, brighter days are ahead.

After my mom had her radiation treatments she'd walk past the television and it would get snowy or
change the channel…! Impressed my friends to no end!

Thinking of you everyday Geo and looking forward to seeing you later this year...

[rocket]

ladies (opticians) and gentlemen, soon to be in a forum near you, the all improved Geo

stay undefeated mate and if there is something, you know…. (and please forgive my lack of whatever, that hinder me to write down what I really want to express...)

[elclintor]

You're a tough cookie Geo..

My best wishes go out to you nonetheless..

[Omega Man]

Stay strong Geo.  You are a blast.

[jacoavlu]

I'm sure you know Geo, but in the case of external beam radiation therapy
Your body will not be emitting any radioactivity as a result

This would only be the case with systemic (internal) radiotherapy or brachytherapy
Which I doubt you are receiving

Now as to potential narrowing of the vagina, I don't think you have to worry about that either
As long as you hold still

[Seul]

I think, being the pussy that he is, he could shrink!.. And his weight/ height ratio is already fucked as it is!.. Poor lad!..

[hectic]

Tough love, the IH way,

I was just going to say that I thought going through treatment would make you a bigger pussy…  But if the doctors say your vagina may shrink, well, guess I was wrong.

[elclintor]

LOL @ Chris..

Well played..
