Hi everyone,
Signed consent forms today to start treatment on Monday 28th.
First day an overnighter in hospital for chemo and radiotherapy day 1.
What did everyone do up to starting treatment? Meal ,out with friends etc ,would like to know ,as at moment can't get my head around it all !
Cheers Mark
Enjoy life as much as you can. The next year is going to be rough, with gradual progress towards your new normal. I was able to eat out well into the second week, which was useful as we often stayed in a hotel during the treatment as the hospital was so far away.
Hi I had a good bike ride the week leading uo to treatment. Ate lots af double chocolate magnums and a leg or roast lamb for Sunday lunch prior to treatment starting in the Monday. I’m an odd ball I can’t tolerate any spicy food since treatment finished
. Most can tolerate some hoping you can enjoy them after treatment .I can eat chocolate some can’t so I enjoy that. I can do aromatics so make do with cocnunt milk based currys using turmeric and cumin. Italian is probably my favourite food now.
you can do this enjoy the weekend.

Hi Hazel,

Hopefully I will be able to cope with curries just slightly spicier than a korma ,but if not cest la vie .
Italian I can also enjoy !!
Thanks Mark
