1st RT today

The first one is probably the most difficult as you have to face the unknown.  Now you are past that you can concentrate of how it is really affecting you as you get more into treatment.  Don't forget to tell your RT team about every little change as they will help you manage the side effects.  It is probably too early for any effect from the RT on your cancer - it is a cumulative effect that builds - maybe the soreness is from the close fitting of the mask?  Anyway glad it has settled down now you are home.

Good luck with the chemo tomorrow and I hope the PEG fitting goes as smoothly as mine did.

Hi Lee. Just a tip on chemo day depending when your radiotherapy slots into your day. your mask may feel tighter. That’s due to the amount of saline that’s infused into our system prior and post chemo. It soon settles down. Re the meds you’re given tj take after chemo my advise is take them even if you  don’t felt nauseous. I had no issues at all with chemo. If you do feel nauseous and the anti sickness aren’t working tell them there’s lots of alternative s they can give you.
