So I have 2 weeks until chemo finishes and it's now time to start planning my radiotherapy. I met with my oncologist today and the plan is to still have 5 sessions of radiotherapy which will commence 3 weeks after chemo finishes so roughly 7th March.
In the meantime I will need to have a CT scan, then a planning scan. I should then get my 5 appointments through.
We also discussed the need for a bone density scan as this checks my bones as the hormone tablets may affect them.
The lead nurse practitioner will also ring me to arrange ongoing Herceptin injections as my last one at the cancer centre will be the 2nd February. I can have them at hoe which will be good, until I go back to work though.
It really is like a very well oiled machine this cancer treatment lark. I can finally begin to see the end of active treatment and start thinking about getting stronger, losing some weight and regaining a decent level of fitness.
