Out and about

Hi Spencer. For the first 2 weeks after starting radiotherapy I could get out and about but on the 3rd. week the side effects started to lock in and I was not up to getting out other than to go to the radiotherapy treatment. Everyone is different and will have had a different experience but a back up plan is a good idea.

Hi I could get out and potter around most days the last 2 weeks were harder but I always mages to walk from car to treatment and walk round the garden and potter in the kitchen. When I was tired  I went to bed for a nap but functioned quite well I did watch a lot of tv and found I couldn’t concentrate on reading or crocheting for a few months after. But I was riding my bike 2 months  after treatment in southern Spain on holiday so not all bad. We all react differently there’s no one size fits all.

Hi. 
I managed perfectly well for the first two weeks but after that it was a bit of an effort. I live in a smallholding and I managed a walk round the fields most days and went shopping g weekly with my husband till treatment finished then I slept for two weeks. 

How were you after the 2 weeks you slept

did you get out and about

Very slowly, yes walking a little further every day. I had my NG tube out at six weeks and was still on morphine till 12 weeks. Managed a day out at a country fair five months after 

What are they at 3rd week

I drove to the hospital every day for the first 3 weeks, then my wife had to do the driving. Then apart from going for my treatment, I didn't go out much until about 3 or 4 weeks after my treatment finished. We are all different and it affects us all differently.
