had the diagnosis, tomour in lower bowel, invasive, done CT/MRI scans, blood tests, go the schedule na hd the tatoo.
Today base line blood test, then collected Capecitabine (Xeloda®) tables, 1650m, twice daily, seems like rather heavy dosage to me, but what do I know. Apprehensive, oh yes, but prepared my body/soul with Bowen techniques, and assorted other treatments to be sure as relaxed as physically possible. Tomorrow is the first radium treatment, so another first. been through the side effects, but what will affect me is the voyague of discovered, plenty of cures for some side effects, just in case. I did notice the future NHS prescriptions are free if exemption certificate is obtained from your GP, being a C patient. (so some perks.,...).
Started to exchange emails with fellow Maacmillan user, who has the same diagnosis, but has been through the cycle , is now at stoma stage, hoping this is atemporary mesaure. I suspect this is to come, but one day at a time. So day one of my personal journey...
