Just got back from Jimmys and my appointment with the radiographer, after all the fretting over what decision to make and sorting questions to ask she recommended that I have radiotherapy............so that was it decision made and no more pros, cons and the kitchen sink whizzing about in my head!
She was really nice, explained everything clearly and told me that she would sort the radiotherapy asap as the gap from finishing chemo was longer than normal at 3 months. She explained that although the PET scan was clear there was still some abnormality and although this was not surprising considering the size of the original tumour it was best to have the radiotherapy to make sure they have got everything.
Will have to go next week and get a mask mould done, CT scan and planning and then they will make mask while I am away on holiday and start the radio when I get back, said holiday not a problem (phew!) as it would take 10 days to make the mask anyway. Once started radio will be every weekday for 3 weeks so 15 in all.
Although apprehensive about actually having the radiotherapy (and getting the mask done) am really pleased that this is sorted and I can get on with it, things not just hung in the air anymore.
Fingers crossed now that all this goes to plan..............well (ish) lol!
