Sorry to be graphic but where my lump is i can feel it so if the doesnt start to get smaller as the treatment weeks pass i will start panicking any advise or isight with regard to this. Many Thanks Paul
Hi Patski2 the chemo radiotherapy is very effective treatment and your tumour should begin to shrink within 3 months of starting treatment. However, please be aware that the radiotherapy continues to work for some months after treatment has ended. It’s by no means unusual for it not to have disappeared completely at your first scan 3 months post-treatment. Many people on here report this happens and it is on the second scan that it disappears completely. Hope this helps. Bev
Hi Patski2 yes that’s pretty much standard in the UK, scans at 3 then 6 months post-treatment. They don’t do an earlier scan than 3 months so as to give the radiotherapy time to fully work. Bev.
