Hello
I hope everyone is ok, sending hugs and positive vibes to you all! Just thought I'd share an update on my journey. I've had my appointment with the oncologist, confirmed I'll be having chemoradiotherapy , went through all the side effects in great detail which left my head spinning, and I think was a factor in me fainting when they tried to take bloods 
several cups of tea and water later my blood pressure had recovered enough for them to try again and actually get some blood out. Am now under instructions to eat and drink well before bloods. I'm starting treatment at Christie's on 1 November until 5 December. I'm eager to get started but nervous about the side effects, obviously I have no idea how I will feel. Any input from your own experiences would be helpful to read!
Also, the advanced practitioner at my doctor's has recommended I try to eat a low inflammatory diet ie avoiding gluten, sugar, red meat and dairy, to give my gut the best chance of coping with the treatment/fighting the cancer. . Has anyone else tried this and do you think it has helped with how you feel during treatment?
Thank you for listening
