Sleeping arrangements

I don't know what type of cancer you have, but I would have reservations of having people to stay incase of infection, especially if you're on chemo. My husband has tonsil cancer and our spare room is there fir me if needed.

any thoughts

My initial thought is no. 
Into week four I was being pump fed at night and I took myself off to the spare room. Being fed at night meant I had to visit the loo once or twice and I could be restless at night and didn’t want to disturb my husband. It also meant that I could read watch a movie on the computer at night guilt free if I couldn’t sleep

PS

is your blog up and running yet? 

Hi John, best to have a rethink on this, treatment isn't easy, having a lot of people about, if you are feeling ill or very tired, which you no doubt will. Might not be such a good idea, good luck with your treatment.

Hi I decamped to our spare room early in treatment I needed  the space. Our daughter lives 4 miles away and to be honest she rarely came to see me which I was fine about between treatment and travelling my hubby and I just got on with it. We texted and spoke daily but I couldn’t have coped with others in the house. I had the spare room for around 5 months it heloed  both of us hubby could sleep while o got on with what I had to do.

Good evening John, sometimes too much help can make things a bit difficult as i found that i wanted to be on my own the majority of the time so i could do my own thing in my own time, if you do not want to upset anyone then just put a time limit on the length of stay i.e two days or for a weekend but it depends on how you are feeling in yourself. Good luck.

Hello John

I’m with the others on this.  I couldn’t have coped with house guests in the aftermath of treatment.

I am Coming to the end of week 7 (1 week post 6 weeks of RT) and this week my husband is away snowboarding and my daughter away on school camp so I’ve been alone… it has been gops pacing myself for what I need. Resting, medicating takes up lots of time, relaxing…  I’ve had visitors and my sister will stay two nights over the week for company. People are tiring and make my throat sore (talk to much). Think of it like your are ill (you are) - who wants people around when you are ill? X 

Hello. Thank you… erm I think it is?!? Tbh I’ve not checked if it’s viable externally. Still a work in progress because I’m doing up to now retrospectively.
