Treatment and Recovery Time

Hi Welly

Welcome to the forum, and I'm very sorry to hear of your recent diagnosis.

25 sessions is a lower dose however recovery time and side effects are very individual with individual accounts ranging from working right through and going back straight away to taking months to recover.

I received 28 sessions so not a direct comparison and I worked through and booked a couple of days in the week after finishing but didn’t really need them.

Hope others will follow and give you some more examples of what to expect especially those who had 25 sessions.

Good luck with the treatment when it starts.

Hi , and welcome to our supportive group. I’m sorry to hear your on this journey but the support and advice on here is wonderful.

I started treatment may 2025 and finished in June . 28 days in total over 5 and a half weeks.

I had one chemo injection  then the tablets .These were only taken on the days I had radiotherapy.

I had a lot of side effects. I took anti sickness occasionally. Nerve ending painkillers Vitamins calcium and vit D and Morphine at the end to help me sleep.

I could not sit down after about 4 weeks and that lasted until September time.

Going commando was a great relief .

Your radiographers or specialist nurse will give you everything you need on your first appt.

Everyone is different , and I hope you have an easy journey . Take care Anne
