    I'm older than you are and have been on Testosterone Replacement Therapy for several years and I've been losing hair for years. So I've been in the habit of shaving my head in hot weather for years. In Thailand I seem to blend in with many Farangs who are either bald or shave their heads. Anyway, I hope you get better. Live your life and I wish you success in finding joy.

    You can always take the train home from your European destination. If you are feeling bad on the train, you just get off at the next stop and walk into a hotel. Wait until you feel a bit better and then carry on. It is a great way of seeing more places. You are not in a rush. Trains in Europe are not a rip-off like in the UK.

    Regarding the sugar point you made, I think you're correct if you're only taking about actual sugar, rather than all carbohydrates. However, there have been many people who have been terminal/stage 4 and yet managed to put their cancer into remission with low-carb/ketogenic/ carnivore diets combined with standard of care. The way it works is that you get your blood glucose levels quite low and the cancer cells have to compete with the other organs for it. The cancer cells starve as they need glucose to live and grow, but the rest of the body can survive just fine of fatty acids and ketones.

    Ed, my RT went on for 8 weeks and it's a bit of a marathon towards the end but I still went on a trip right after as a reward to myself if for nothing else. I had no idea at that point if it would work or not after my failed surgery from 2 years before and I honestly had resigned myself to it not working so I said , well, fuck it, I am going on a trip then, LOL. Glad I did and much to my surprise, that RT DID work, obviously, 8 years on and still kicking, actually healthier now than I was before I got cancer two decades ago! Honestly, I think my mental health was exceptionally good throughout all that and I feel like yours is similar. You are curious about it and carrying on with a positive attitude which is the best way to deal with it. That attitude is golden. They told me it would get much worse as well - but it really didn't as far as I am concerned. Just tired for about a week or two after but then I could feel my strength return - because after all - the cancer itself is making you tired so once that is removed as a health burden your body will get to work fixing the effects of the radiation. So hopefully it won't be nearly as bad as they tell you. Reactions vary.
