pretty straight forward.. everything explained.. what to expect, what I might expect, etc.. Immune system issues taken note of, maybe some medication to take pre chemo (anti biotic treatment).. that's wait and see atm.. so 6 weeks radio, chemo on Mondays.. mask fitting, dietitian (dietician?) stomach tube fitting in the next few weeks..speech therapy is no longer face2face.. they send out details of mouth and jaw exercises apparently.. Hopefully they'll crack on now..
Hi Beau. Yes once youre in the planning phase there’s a tried and trusted path. You’ll be starting radiotherapy before you know it. Best advise eat your Christmas dinner and try to enjoy.
Hope your worries were eased.

I have some on my blog. They are straightforward and really necessary to prevent fibrosis. Boring and difficult later on in treatment. I still do them.

If it’s mask making no they just do the masks. I had a hour appointment bearer ti start date ti look round radiotherapy suites and met a few people. Depends how big you centre is mine had 4 suites with 4 machines in each so the teams rotated around sone weeks. The nurses and dieticians were the same. You’ll find out on Friday
