Monday 10th June. Still awating Radiotherapy start dates.

Less than one minute read time.

10 Jun 2024

Well I am still awaiting my start dates for radiotherapy to start. I will give them a call tomorrow as its now been over 6 weeks since my last chemo.

We had a lovely week away fishing and caught lots of fish between us. Over 600lb in weight. They all get put back in the lake afterwards but some get a quick photo shoot first.

I have started playing lawn bowls again this year but have only played in a couple of matches in the evenings as I had a go in the daytime but they seem to zap my energy, probably because of the sun and can only do 6 ends.

I'm playing this morning with my husband and friend in a mixed triples county competition but not worried about losing as too much hassle arranging matches.

My eyebrows and lashes are starting to make an appearance again now, but I found some cheap eyebrow tattoos on the shopping delivery tv/movie site, named after a river. 6 strips of 9 pairs for just £4.

Hope everyone is keeping well. Hugs to you all. Xx

Glad you had a great fishing trip - looks like you had some good catches.
Hope the bowls match went well.
I’m having my last radiotherapy tomorrow - 5 usual sessions and then 5 more boost. It’s been fine as long as I moisturise well and drink plenty of water. But the effects can be 2 weeks post treatment so I’m still expecting tiredness and soreness.
I thought the chemotherapy side effects had nearly subsided but my nails are looking brown with white patches so Docetaxel has certainly left its mark - very scanty eyebrows and eyelashes but maybe they are slowly regrowing.
Hope you hear about your radiotherapy sessions soon though it’s quite nice to have a break.

Hiya Kazza

We won our bowls match yesterday morning it was close in the end, but we did good beating them as 2 are county players. Played again in the evening different format and we won that too, but I wasn't playing with hubby.

My finger nails are looking really bad too, full of ridges and white patches. I have lost 2 toe nails and waiting for big toenail to fall off too as just hanging on so using a plaster to stop from catching it.

Fingers crossed you dont get too sore from the Radiotherapy and your nails don't fall off, if they get loose don't pull them.
