So I have had 3 rounds of cistplatin with capacitibine x2 daily. Started radiotherapy Monday gone. The mask was a big concern for me as I was worried about being sick while wearing it. The process of making the mask wasn't too pleasant but manageable. I feel as if I'm over the hump with chemo, as I just have 1 more iv dose left in 2 weeks time. 4 more weeks of radiotherapy. I'm hoping this will cure the cancer and treatment will be over.
Hi Luu77
I am glad that you are making it through the treatment, like you I really hope that the combined therapies have a really positive effect on the cancer.
How has the past week been for you? I hope you have not had too many side effects.
