Glad you have some support to cover the traveling expenses. And thanks for your encouragement re: type 2. Had a bit of a meltdown having to watch what I eat with cancer and now this! I have an appointment with the diabetes clinic on the 31st.
wouldn’t mind but I don’t have much sugar and don’t eat that much chocolate or sweets. Could be the steroids?
take care Ulls

Judy, do not get uptight as such, when i was on chemo and immunotherapy i had a check every time i went for treatment at the chemo unit, as the chemo i was on caused problems with the thyroid and could cause diabetes, my thyroid be go hay wire, but in the end it settled down. xxx
My oncologist told me that some of his patients developed type 1 diabetes when they started on the immunotherapy drug Nivolumab. I didn't develop diabetis, but the drug did some damage to my pituitary gland, so it doesn't send signals to the adrenal glands, so they don't work either! I have to take steroids now, and for the rest of my life. I have monthly blood tests before I have the treatment, which include testing for thyroid function. So far, all my blood tests have been 'normal'. I hope nothing else goes wrong!
Blessings to you all! This is the first time I've joined your thread.
Hi yes , having different treatments can come along with other problem, i also had to have B12 injections every nine weeks, because that was knocked for six, as well.
I hope you do not have more problems, if nit one thing, something else.
Every day thread, about chit chat, normal life, as we know it, i have just taken two l heavy curtains down, that's normal life,. ,
I've decided to have a short holiday, with my dog! Spur of the moment thing, so I've booked 2 nights in a b&b, going tomorrow. Will be a slow journey, with plenty of stops. Hope the weather stays good! I had a free week on my calendar, with no appointments, so making the most of it. Leaving my husband at home!!
