Good evening ladies & gents
i hope your all aswell as you can be.
So my mums been given Radiotherapy, Chemo & possibly immuno too
First port of call is radiotherapy which she’s already been marked up for and given a start date
I was just wondering was it normal to start on Radiotherapy? Or does it not matter?
Hi, people have treatment in a whole combination of ways. Some have radiotherapy and chemo together, some have one before the other, some have chemo alongside immunotherapy and some only have immunotherapy.
I have had radiotherapy and I am now on hormone treatment. There is a possibility that I will have to have chemo one day, but immunotherapy is not an option for my cancer.
I hope your mum’s treatment goes well for her. X
Thank you for taking the time to reply
Ive just seen a lot of posts where people have started on chemo then gone onto another so just wasn’t sure
D day is looming and I think anxiety on my part is kicking in Christ knows how my mums feeling about it all
My husband is waiting for a start date for his treatment. Good luck to your mum and to you

We are waiting for an appointment to see the chemotherapy doctor to discuss which type of chemo he can have. As you know, it's the waiting that is the worst part of this process.

I'm so sorry to hear that. Fingers crossed she gets positive results. I know my husband's is inoperable as it's in his lymph nodes but i don't know what stage it is.... I guess I should ask that question ?
Sending your mum and you lots of positive thoughts

Yeah my mums is in the lymph nodes she has mets too which have travelled to the liver and bone she has bits attached on her hip/ribs/pelvis awful seeing her go from this super active always working woman to someone in pain when she walks.. awful disease!
Possibly, or they’ll disclose that in a letter you should receive from either your oncologist/cancer nurse.. x
