Hubby had 3rd radiotherapy & we managed a late lunch early dinner. I pushed the boat out & had 3 glasses of wine it was a lovely meal & was given a free birthday cake & everyone in restaurant singing happy birthday, which I thought was very kind.
We came home both went to bed at 7.30pm & I slept until about 4am!!
So todays 4th radiotherapy & oncologist is ringing for update on how hes been with weaning off prednislone & how hes doing with radiotherapy. Weanings perfect no problems, radiotherapy making him tired, but last one tomorrow.
And maybe she will decide when to re start chemo....
That sounds like you both had a lovely day Tillyboo
Morning Tilly, and a belated happy birthday, and that's fab you were able to celebrate it as well, with a little wine, good for you, and it's good to hear he's having no issues coming off Prednisone, and only one RT to go, yay, I'm sorry it's making him tired, I had 20 cycles, but it's normal, and I'll have everything crossed RT is the success we all hope it is, best wishes to you both.

Just another step forward - well done both of you - all these treatments seem to go around in circles but we need them don't we
But for today just Happy Birthday & I am going to sing to you
Happy birthday to you xxxxxxx
seems I have sent another message to myself!
Just seems you had a lovely day - Happy Birthday to you
hope the cake was lovely
Treatment seems to go around & around but as hard as it is - we have to do it xxx
Keep in touch and don't forget we are all here - except me !
I am a really paid up looney who sends messages to herself!
RT is a hard gig - makes you feel so so tired - made a bed up for Mike downstairs so he could come home
if he wanted to - just sleep - which he did
Just to you SO GLAD YOU HAD a Happy Birthday & may your days get better xxxxxxxxxxxx
Aside from the sleeping, which hes done loads of. My husbands 5 x 10 min bursts to the iliac bone in the pelvic area. He went to bed at 8.30pm & woke up with likeca nervy heavy leg discomfort. He said he its uncomfortable to lay with both legs touching. Not had this all week & his last treatments tomoz. I've just given him some oramorph. And hes sat having tea & biccys. I dont like to Google things as it puts the fear of god into you!!
Is this a radiotherapy side affect?
what tea & biscuits - no xxxx
Have you tried a bolster - different sizes to put between legs - may help
The only thing I google is music to download - I am a music freak - well I am a freak anyway
Have -& am sure they have given advice for sleeping positions -but even so sometimes harder to do than do what they say - even how hard we try
Stay there girl - you are lovely to chat to - & dont we need this Forum for our laughs & private tears xx
here for you like everyone xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Ha ha ha! I suggested a bolster between the legs, but he declined & carried on eating his ginger nuts!
I just said its the last one tomoz & if concerned tell them in clinic, but I'm sure hes had this before when he had one hit of radiitherapy some time back
Well so as long you dont eat them!!!!!!!!!
good luck & let us know how things go today -thinking of you xx
Are you allowed to say which hospital you are with xx
Chat tomorrow xx
