I start my treatment on Monday, compromising chemo drugs Paclitaxel and carboplatin on a 3 weekly cycle. Also radiotherapy Monday- Friday for 5 weeks.
I have managed to gain weight while waiting for treatment which I hope will help me once treatment starts. I have also written down a few questions I have since seeing oncologist. Mainly concerning the dosage I will receive because my oncologist said he was treating me palliative rather than cure. Plus he only wanted me to have radiotherapy as he didn't think I could handle chemo. I managed to convince him to let me try the chemo, but he will stop this if it interferes with my radiotherapy.
I know this will be a difficult journey but I am determined I can get through this, and reading people's journey's on this site has been so helpful. Especially people's remedies to any side effects that may occur.
Thank you to everyone posting on this site, it is so helpful to people on this journey and their families.
