Good morning,
I have posted on other parts of this brilliant website ...but here goes with some medical- ish questions! A little background first: I currrently live in Bangkok and have had all my treatment here. I am a 52 YO male . I had surgery to remove tumour and then went on to have the ( ususal??) 30 radio & chemo treatments. This takes me until the 10th December. As you can imagine( sometimes tanslation etc etc can be a little complicated!!! But my Qs are;
- Is there a usual gap of time between finishing this round of treatment and starting the possible next round of chemo tablets only?
- I certainly feel tired/ fatigued at the momment , but is it usual to feel a little more sprightly when just taking the chemo tablets in the next block of treatment? I am currently not at work(teacher), but trying to keep all options open, even though in my heart we ( wife and I ) feel like we might travel home for future treatment. This cross over time between treatment 1 and treatment 2 might be a good time to do this? But we understand we need to speak with my consultants ( which I do every week here at the moment )and also we have to think about travel insurance/ stopping work and the financial consequences etc etc.
- Just before all this happened we were in the process of finding a a flat in Newcastle to buy. In your opinion, would it be stupid/short sighted to by one with stairs. Just thinking about mobility in the coming months/years.
- We've paid our NI whilst liiving out here ( 5 years) and have 30 years contributions and think that we need to register with GP once we know our permanant address in the uk. Do I have to have GP or can I transfer from my Consultant here, directly to one in the UK in Newcastle?( likley the Freeman) Big big apologies f these are not questions you can answer!
Many thansk
