One week delay - treatment starting July 4th

Hi Helen your trajectories similar to mine I was put in pathway 14 May  2018 treatment started 14 July so don’t stress about it time wise. It’s better to get the planning just as they want  it So like , you say fingers x for the weather  in west Yorkshire we’ve now got drizzle. Hopefully it wil penetrate into the soil  and allotment needs it. Another week tin eat chocolate magnums before treatment starts bonus.

Just chill Helen. It won’t make any difference. I had to wait nearly two months to start mine. 

Hi Helen

Just to acknowledge, it's the biggest problem all the waiting around but they have to be very precise with the final positioning of the Radiotherapy, mine was delayed as the Oncologist I first saw wasn't the best for my Cancer so they waited till the better one came back off holiday and ahse changed all the treatment plan, but glad to say thank God as I have just been given the all clear. So bear with the waits as it hopefully turns out well

Take Care and enjoy for a bit

Tony

Thanks hazel, that's reassuring.

Ha ha! yes, I will be eating chocolate while I can still taste it that's for sure And maybe a curry is in order on Saturday!!

Thanks Dani, it's reassuring to know that! It's clouding over in north wales currently (typical!), hope we still get some sun over the weekend...

Thanks Tony - you're right, I know! As the RT team said, they want to spend enough time to get it just right. I only had my planning scan + mask last Wednesday so we would've been pushing things a bit to be ready for this coming Monday. I need to learn to have more patience LOL!

Not just that but availability. Some centres just don’t have the capacity. 

Hi Helen. I’m also starting radiotherapy in Glasgow on 4 th July.  Had my mask fitting and planning scan last week, a tooth out this week and another MRI tomorrow. Hateful stuff! See oncologist next week too to discuss things. Like you had numerous appointments including 2 general anaesthetics for biopsy and an aborted robotic Surgery leading up to this starting in March this year. And most in Glasgow. A 80 mile round trip for me and my daughters who have gone with me. We should keep posting if we can and compare notes if it helps. Good luck.

Please do Cat. Your cancer is almost the same as mine and I’m fine  three and a half years later.

You don’t realise how much it helps. 
it’s all very well us “old lags” posting with words of support but having somebody else go through treatment with you in these pages is something else. 

Hi Cat welcome from me as Dani says  one of the old lags. It really does help if yiuve someone else going through it at same time albeit remotely,I’m still in touch with my N2 guys fromLeeds cancer centre we went through chemo and radiotherapy together can’t beat comparing notes but if we can help just shout out.
