Hi all my partner has his first appointment with the oncologist tomorrow dont really know what to expect or what questions we might need to ask
Bryan has been on bicaculmide for about 6 weeks which is now finshed and he’s had one hormone injection due another one in may
Bryan is waiting to hear about RT we are due to go holiday 28th April for 10 days and worried it may effect us going can it be postponed til we come back so he can have a good time before it all starts thanks x
Hi Clarebryan62 , I am not medically trained but my gut reaction is go for your holiday and postpone the start of treatment until you get back. Try and get the planning before you go ready to start (if you get a date prior to the holiday) as soon as you return. If I have got it wrong, hopefully others will add their comments. David
David2017 i was thinking the same thing as the treatment will knock him back and wouldn’t be able to enjoy the holiday as much I was thinking it be okay because he still on the hormone therapy to stop it getting bigger or spreading thanks for the quick reply
