Hello Peter (Psb2024) 

All I can suggest is to give the Urology Nurse a chance on Friday and see how easy/hard it's going to be and if you still feel you can't do it ask what alternatives there are.

Best wishes - Brian.

Hi  Brian

Peter 

Hi all

Hope your all doing ok, 7th radiotherapy treatment this morning all going well no side effects at the moment, it's more stressful travelling to the hospital in the mornings a hour and a half to do 11 miles a little landmark for this coming Monday will be half way ,have to say all the staff at the Royal Free are  amazing. I definitely think I've made the right decision of treatment for me.

Regards

Hi Peter (Psb2024 ) it’s the boredom and repetitiveness that gets you.  Good luck with the rest of the RT.

Hi David 

Thank  you,Yeah I get that ,the staff are pretty punctual so not at the hospital to long around 40 minutes,it's the journey to the hospital which is a bit stressful, I'm lucky my partner drives .

Kind regards 

Peter

Peter, I realised at my planning session that I could drive myself (only a 30 minute journey) so my wife was able to stay at home.  I had a big problem on my way home one day, the motorway blocked and no way off it and no cover to go for a pee!  For the remaining 37 sessions I carried a 4 pint empty plastic milk container!

Hi David 

I know how you must of felt,I have a big bottle in the car ,luckily my partner drives as I can't 

Kind regards 

Peter

Hello Peter (Psb2024 ) 

Travel Insurance is much cheaper once you have completed your Radiotherapy.

We do have a dedicated travel insurance group and here's the link you need:

Travel insurance forum for cancer patients 

I will "tag" my fellow Community Champion Derek (excavator)  who is an expert in this field and will be along to offer some advice. (Derek is in the US of A on holiday at present but will reply).

I wish you will moving forward after you have completed your Radiotherapy and hope you enjoy your holiday. .

Best wishes - Brian.
