Meeting with my Medical Oncologist and Radiotherapy Oncologist

Hi Daisy,

Glad you have your plan in place and I hope all your treatment goes smoothly. I have been on anastrazole for over a year now with no side effects so I hope that will be the same for you.

Take care and love and hugs coming your way.

Hi, Daisy, there's so much information to process  isn't there? I had my first oncology appt yesterday and I was so glad my husband and daughter were present because they asked questions I hadn't thought of and picked up information that I missed completely. I am a recently retired nurse, but oncology is so specialised that I felt out of my depth despite my years of experience ( and it's  a whole different view from the other side if the blanket!). The oncologist and nurse consultant were so helpful that even though the oncotype result is still pending, it was a worthwhile appt. I too am starting hormone blocker tomorrow and I'm already taking vit D but everything else is on hold. I really hope your treatment goes well and you get through the other side before too long. This wasn't meant to be a War and Peace post but it got away from me, lol. Look after yourself and let us know how you get on. X

Hi Daisy53,  Looks like you have everything set and just waiting for your vitamin d levels to improve.  It is quite a busy schedule but it is amazing how we get it done.  Hoping you don’t get any issues with Anastrazole as that is a plus. I wish you the best moving forward with your treatments and keep us posted.  Hugs to you

Barbara

Thanks WMK. xx

Hi Daisy53, so good to hear you have a plan in place. I had a port and it has made treatment so much easier. My vit d levels were low but my oncologist was happy for me to start chemo and take vitamin d spray everyday. That’s great they can do radiotherapy to both sides. I was always told you couldn’t have radiotherapy in the same place twice but it’s good to see maybe that has changed ? 
Wishing you all the best

Thanks cuffcake. xxx

Thanks Barbara. I got a phone call from my oncology liaison nurse yesterday to say that I'll be getting my port in on 20th of November and I will be starting chemo a week later on the 27th.  I'm relieved that I don't have to wait for my vitamin levels to improve to start.

Best wishes

Daisy53 xx

Hi Daisy, I am having the same treatment as you. I’ve finished chemo, 20 doses of radiotherapy & started on anastrozole. I’ll have 6 monthly infusion too. I visited my GP to get her support during this after phase. She will monitor my bloods & blood pressure every 6 months too. Best of luck with your journey 

Hi Daisy, pleased you have your treatment plan now.  I wish you all the very best for the months ahead.  Sending hugs xx

Thanks AMA70.

Best of luck with the rest of your treatment.
