Treatment

Hi Moonbug

You will be having a lot of treatment over a relatively short time period , so expect to feel very tired as the treatment progresses over the 6 wks.

The radiotherapy continues to work for some time after your final session; however so do the side effects. Therefore the tiredness may also continue.  This is very normal.

As for the chemo, everyone reacts differently. For me, it was my blood counts that  dropped significantly. On two occasions my chemo was delayed by a week. Again this is normal and does not impact on the efficacy of the treatment.

On a practical note; fill the freezer with ready meals as the treatment may impact on your appetite; best to have somethings available that can be quickly thrown in the microwave when needed.  Focus on maintaining your calorie intake rather than healthy eating.

Good luck with the treatment.
