My six weeks will be finished on 22/03/10.
No, it doesn't hurt at all, can't feel any heat or anything strange.
If you have transport arranged by the hospital you may be waiting around, a lot, but it's a chance to get to know other patients 0: )x
Be prepared to feel very tired.
I don't know how I'll be in 6 weeks time, but today will be my third zap and for anyone who is worried... it's not as noisy as an MRI scanner and it's much quicker. You can hear the swirling noise of the beam, but you feel no heat or pain during the treatment.
Best of luck 0: ) x
Tell me your good or bad experiences... this is a minor problem in the bigger scheme of things. I'm with Aviva through Tesco life insurance. I was advised by call-centre staff I must be diagnosed as terminally ill (within 12 months) and there must be at least 18 months remaining on the policy. My oncologist is unwilling to co-operate with claim submission at this time, because he wants to know how I respond to treatment…
Seven years later, a second tumour has sprung up in my temporal lobe. Radiotherapy preparation begins next Tuesday... anyone been through or going through this, please get in touch. Doc is vague re prognosis with or without this treatment, but he is keen to get started.
Internet evidence on some sites is damning.
Do you drink diet soft-drinks, chew sugar-free gum, or use artificial sweeteners in your hot drinks? (I'm guilty).
I've been reading about Aspartame and Phenylalanine. It seems there is a problem, but evidence is inconclusive.
