Taking 1/2 day holidays to cover Radiation Appointments - Did anyone else?

I'd be knackered, Yoga!!!

It depends what kind of Yoga you do I just alternated from down ward dog into cobra to stretch and move the wind.

Never done Yoga in my life.

I had only done it once before  as i would rather jogging and a good workout at the gym for exercise but this is what they suggested to move the wind and it worked within a very short space of time.

Hi Ulls,

Can't wait for the tattoos (remember Borstal spots), suppose they are the same but different.  I know that it doesn't make sense.  I blame the Hormones.

Sounds like RT has worked well for you.  Hope it will for me.

The Oncologist at the Freeman Hospital is positive.

Hi Steve,  I had all afternoon appointments and although most were  OK some were delayed due to machine breakdown or emergency use and this could be up to an hour so your best bet I think would be afternoon. I'm retired but could easily have worked mornings.

Good luck with your treatment. Regards Reg

Hi Reg,

It's just a case of hope I can get them without any hitches.  I'm prepared for anything (well, I'm not really... into the unknown for me).

Did you get your last Hormone Injection?

Hi Steve, spoke to the oncologist today, he says the cocktail of drugs I'm on are working brilliantly, I am to remain on them and my 4 weekly check ups for the foreseeable future.

I have to stop thinking in months for longevity but years

Great news.

Yes. Last one was on Aug 21st. But the GP managed to get confused over that and the nurse said next and last,one was November. I knew they had a letter stating  finish would be about September but probably had not been looked at, and they would need to contact the hospital. I contacted the Macmillan Nurse who confirmed I had indeed had my last one but she had not been contacted by the GP and then said how frustrating she found it trying to contact my GP being on hold on the phone for 30 mins. The GP's have always been excellent bu have always found admin totally incompetent. Still now once again it's wait and see how successful the treatment has been.The RT was OK for me with very few side effects just a good excuse to lay down for a short time in the afternoon. At the planning session I was given a list  of times for all my 20 appointments. It's like quite a lot of things a lot easier than you expect.

Good luck.  regards Reg
