I can&amp;#39;t believe how much time has passed since i last posted here. Well dunno where to start but I&amp;#39;ll summarise for now.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I finished chemo (6 cycles) July 22. I was told (twice) by my MDT that radio wouldn&amp;#39;t be necessary. Hmmmm, that didn&amp;#39;t sound right to me. After everything I had read about RMS (rhabdomyosarcoma) chemo was almost definately followed up by RT. I have taken everything the docs have said with a pinch of salt and i did on this occasion too. I was right, and they offered me RT. 30 fractions over 6 weeks. I&amp;#39;m now more than halfway through with 11 fractions to go. It&amp;#39;s going okay apart from the 5 hr round trip to london each day, for a 5 min zap. But, I&amp;#39;m extremely grateful for all the help given to me at RMH. I have a review in two weeks as to how things are going. My eyebrows and eyelashes have grown back. Just waiting for the hair on my head to make an appearance. There&amp;#39;s a very fine covering of &amp;#39;fluff&amp;#39; but not enough to stop wearing headscarves, and a beenie at bedtime ;D&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="https://community.macmillan.org.uk/aggbug?PostID=453380&amp;AppID=32272&amp;AppType=Weblog&amp;ContentType=0" width="1" height="1"&gt;</content><author><name>Former Member</name><uri>https://community.macmillan.org.uk/members/formermember</uri></author><category term="sarcoma" scheme="https://community.macmillan.org.uk/cancer-blogs/b/where_have_the_last_4_months_gone/archive/tags/sarcoma" /><category term="ifosfamide" scheme="https://community.macmillan.org.uk/cancer-blogs/b/where_have_the_last_4_months_gone/archive/tags/ifosfamide" /><category term="chemotherapy" scheme="https://community.macmillan.org.uk/cancer-blogs/b/where_have_the_last_4_months_gone/archive/tags/chemotherapy" /><category term="vincristine" scheme="https://community.macmillan.org.uk/cancer-blogs/b/where_have_the_last_4_months_gone/archive/tags/vincristine" /><category term="eyebrows" scheme="https://community.macmillan.org.uk/cancer-blogs/b/where_have_the_last_4_months_gone/archive/tags/eyebrows" /><category term="rhabdomyosarcoma" scheme="https://community.macmillan.org.uk/cancer-blogs/b/where_have_the_last_4_months_gone/archive/tags/rhabdomyosarcoma" /><category term="radiotherapy" scheme="https://community.macmillan.org.uk/cancer-blogs/b/where_have_the_last_4_months_gone/archive/tags/radiotherapy" /><category term="soft tissue sarcoma" scheme="https://community.macmillan.org.uk/cancer-blogs/b/where_have_the_last_4_months_gone/archive/tags/soft%2btissue%2bsarcoma" /></entry></feed>
