Hi, I’m supposed to be having 5 weeks of chemoradiation however the machines are very unreliable and there are long delays often , no fault of the staff obviously but all adds to the stress as you drink your water then have to hold it for much longer than expected. This week they have cancelled two of the sessions due to the lack of machines. I only spoke with the receptionist and forgot to ask if I was supposed to take my chemo tablets despite no treatment. I am assuming I should take them this evening (appt cancelled at 3pm, it had already been put back to 7pm).
also, does anyone know if a break in treatment makes a difference to the effectiveness of the sessions? Todays and Wednesdays ones are cancelled
thanks
Claire
Hi Kell, Sorry only just saw this message! I had a good conversation with the consultant and it’s not possible to change midway as it would cause a delay and break the treatment. I have just two left this week (one on Saturday to make up for Wednesday) then 5 next week and three the following week so finally the end is in sight! I’ve been given a different anti nausea tablet which has stopped the constant loo trips… just waiting to see if it makes me constipated! So I feel better and not so anxious about the long trips.
she also explained the next steps so at least I know what’s ahead.
how is your husband managing with his session? Hopefully all good still!
