Well, that was quick. I chased the medical oncologist (Greek God) up this morning and he has had a pow wow with the radio oncologist, so I was told to speak to him as they both thought hubby was eligible for SBRT on the distant mets. Did this at lunchtime and was asked when we would like it done. Whenever we replied. Got a text at 17:30 to ask if we are available TOMORROW at 15:50 for the planning scan and can we take the PSMA PET scan disc. So all set for treatment starting next week. Having to sort out an apartment near the hospital for a couple of weeks as he predicts it will be 5 sessions on alternate week days.
He definitely needs a big kennel at the moment. 2nd session due this afternoon at 17:45 and hopefully the antiemetics will do the trick. He was due a dose when we got back to base (locked inside) so I had to dash out on foot to get some more at the pharmacy -1.5km round trip, plus buy him lunch. So far I have done over 12000 steps today and I have still got to walk to the hospital.
Having a cottage as a base, with a garden, has been a great bonus as we are both more relaxed. I can sit and have a read on the veranda during his afternoon siesta and the cottage is so well equipped that cooking is no problem.
Being able to let it all out on the forum is keeping me sane, so a bit thanks to everyone.
Excellent reporting!
