Hi everyone.  So yesterday I had a call to confirm what we thought.  The nurse spoke of radiotherapy for the pain, has anyone had that, and do you know if it means they may be able to treat it?  I did ask but nurse very ivasive, just waiting on a call with the oncology appointment.  On the down side, very tearful, and a feeling that I cant cope, any technique advise that you have used to deal with this would be gratefully received.  Thankyou.  The sun is out so thats a good thing x

  • H Mavis321,Hugs,I’m so sorry you are feeling tearful,do you have much support ? I’m sure the people who have had radiotherapy will be along to advise.Everyone on here will support you and help you through.Perhaps the oncologist will be more helpful than the nurse,I hope so.Love Jane xx

  • Thankyou Jane.  I have family and they couldnt be better, its just so hard to take in, Im having trouble accepting that im not well. x

  • It must be a shock having already been through it with your kidney.I expect it will take a little time to adjust to and accept.Time to put yourself first and let others help care and support you through treatment.Love Jane x

  • Hi  . I had radiotherapy. Mine was treatment rather than pain relief. The treatments were painless and each session took about twenty minutes. The good thing is that the regular trips to hospital and talking to others while waiting tends to take your mind off things as you are too busy to worry. I hope it goes well. Best wishes.

    Best wishes to All,   rily.

  • Hi Rily thank you very much for your reply.  Im not 100% sure its for pain relief, just something the nurse said which made me think it.  I suppose I will find out more at the oncology appointment.  Thanks for the insite to the treatment, its nice to hear from someone that has gone through it.  Hope you are keeping well 

  • Hi Mavis. It is hard when you are only given snippets of information. I am sure you will find out more when you see your oncologist and it makes things easier when you know where you are going. My treatment was nearly 10 years ago now and so far so good. Best wishes.

    Best wishes to All,   rily.
