Hi

Hi Sam (SoniaD ),

I arranged transport via a local charity that services both the NCCC where I had my treatment & the renal unit that is based in the same building but in hindsight I could have driven myself throughout. Having said this the hospital is only a 15-20 minute drive from my home. Do you have far to travel? I didn’t have to drink my water before I left home so I wasn’t travelling with a full bladder but I did have to arrive 30 minutes early to drink & allow my bladder to fill before having my radiotherapy. 

Wishing you the very best of luck for Wednesday. I’ll be thinking of you.

Thanks so much for your message. I’m around half an hour drive to the hospital. I have done a rota with friends and family towards the end of treatment.

this was given to me by a friend and it means so much , which I’m sure you can relate to 

Hi Sonia I’m glad to hear you are going to get family support whilst you go through treatment and of course you have all of us on here who are so keen to help support you through this. I love the calendar you got from your friend, how appropriate is that! You will soon be flicking them days over and before you know it, it’s done.

That’s good prep doing a rota for towards the end of treatment, even if you’re ok to drive physically right the way through the fatigue & brain fog can be a bit overwhelming at times so it’s good to have a back up plan.… such a thoughtful gift from your friend, yes I can definitely relate, I definitely found having a visual to see I was checking off each of those treatments invaluable.

Hi my name is Audie, just to reassure you I had annul cancer 7 years ago, 6 weeks treatment I had the doctors were wonderful , when I look back it was easy you just want to get it over, the only thing I worry about is it returning, which is natural I feel that way, I hope yours goes well. If there’s any thing you want to no please be in touch !

That’s my fear too just had first scan post treatment and it’s worked! But can’t help worrying… x
