Hi all
I had my first session of chemo radiation yesterday and it went well.
There was a delay with chemo and it took longer due to amount of patients but the infusion went well. I have had no sickness ot any side effects.
Radio also went well, the worst part is drinking water and laying still.onnthr table with the urge of needing to pass urine. Otg4r that that it was over in 15 minutes.
I was just so tired by end of the day but put this down to the heavy work load leading up to starting treatment and the emotional roller coaster ride I've been on and the anxiety and unknown of starting this journey to recovery.
Had slight muscle changes/weakness in lower legs and not of a concern but something I noticed but this morning it's gone, maybe I was just fatigued. Went to bed at 830pm and awake at 2am as no matter how tired I am.my body wakes me up when it's had enough sleep.
I'll keep you all posted on how things go as im aware that some of you are also starting treatment soon
Have a good day everyone xxxxx
I’m loving trying to decipher your ‘big finger’ typos. It’s properly taking my mind off things. Please don’t stop

Hi Ian L c2e27 ,
That first day can be exhausting can’t it? Plus you’ve been working hard prior to this & as you say the emotional aspect of diagnosis & everything between that & starting treatment is enough to cause fatigue in itself.
I'm pleased you’ve got that first day under your belt, you’ll know what to expect each day now & will hopefully begin to relax a bit. Just learn to go with the flow in regards to the fatigue, your body will tell you when you need to rest & sleep, I think the sleep I got certainly in the first 3-4 weeks of my treatment was some of the best sleep I’ve ever had! Unlike natural tiredness you’ll just not be able to push through genuine fatigue, it’s like hitting a brick wall & you’ll have no other choice than to stop.
Sending lots of good wishes for the rest of your treatment. Keep us updated on how you’re getting on.
Nicola
