My eyesight on both eyes has gone down rapidly in the past weeks. Eye doctor (<-- word?) did several checks. Optical nerves of both eyes showing major loss of function. Especially of the left eye, which underwent surgery a while ago. I can hardly see anymore. Plus dizzyness has increased again, unstable swaying walking. I freaking hate it.
Headaches have returned for occasional bothering.
MRI of the head just scheduled for in two weeks from now. My eye doctor says it's urgent to clarify if this is just an afterglow thingy of the radiotherapy I have to live with - or if the tumor is growing again.
Maybe there was a reason why I went to Ireland last month, in means of while I still can. But unless I get results in two weeks, I want to believe life is not kicking my butt again.
/update
I need some Metallica / Linkin Park madness on my earphones now. Loud.
ps: sorry for this in happy U2 news days, but I promised you,my friends, to include you on this, as you're always there and care. Much love, and apologies.

Some liver parameters that have been high lately have gone higher now. Some blood parameters as well. Doc says he wants to make ultrasound of liver and abdomen by the end of the month. Could be many things. Doc sounded serious and suggested the additional checks, “just to be sure“. Here's to waiting, all the what-ifs in my mind now, gonna be a long month for me.
