Hi there quick update yesterday was the big step,to recovery 14 hour day but first chemotherapy session done was ok nice ward fantastic caring staff and lunch was ok so bonus points all way round !
Free wi fi perfectly ok for browsing , I had downloaded a few tv programmes and took wireless headphone so was quite chilling. I sent hubby home as his boredom threshold is low with instructions to clean the kitchen units. Bonus points again. He came back for the radiotherapy session. Which although I still had drip in went well 20 mins from start to finish most if that wasn’t lining up the bed and mask actual targetingbtiem probabkyn8 mins . Side affects felt sick atb0200 a sickness tablet that was prescribed for eventualities went back to bed sat up for 10mins and away it went.this morning one hour there 15 mins on table one hour back so home for 10took itbsteady had a nap and watched Tour de France .
so count down 1/3 chemotherapy done
w
2/35 radiotherapy sessions so it’s onward and upward from here , fully understand that I won’t always feel this good but the slope when I’ve hit the bottom. Can only go forward from there and upwards from there. The radiation is VMAT which is a targeted therapy and consultant hoping that my left side of throat will only have minimal,damage with right side have concentrated butbtime will tel. If I need the feeding tube so be it
good. Luck to everyone out there and will keep,in touch
