When all were in place electrical current was applied through the needles to create heat and burn the remaining cancer cells and hopefully kill all of them.
Recovery at home has been slow, especially as I have an artificially low immune system, and I have spent more time asleep then I preferred. Only the last few days I've been up all day and slowly doing some things around the garden. As I haven't been well I have voluntary not entered my workshop and only yesterday did I make a few short drives.
Probably take another week or so before I feel better, similar to last procedure. A bit frustrating at times but time is on my side.
Already have the appointment for the review CT scan to see how effective it has been.
