After two failures and then a second CT planning scan followed by rescheduling I finally got through my first Radiotherapy treatment today such a relief, 19 more to go hopefully won’t affect me to much by way of side effects Great to get going!!
Good Morning Richards Dad
Magic, I bet that's a great relief. As Buzzers said in his post above the others will follow quickly and it will soon be over.
I hope all goes well - do keep us posted.
Best wishes - Brian.

Hi Richards Dad , I had 3 attempts at the planning sessions until someone explained empty bowel and full bladder (believe it or not, nobody had mentioned this to us before the 2nd session). After that I did 37 sessions with no failures. Hopefully you will get into a routine and apart from the monotony it will soon be over. Best wishes, David.
Thanks Brian at the hospital now for number 2! Will keep you all up to date
Good MorningRichards Dad ,
delighted for you and no doubt No 2 will go smoothly today . My OH had 6 heavy doses of RT over 6 weeks and had his final one on Tuesday . He is very “tired” but a combination of the RT but he has a calf injury which I think the combination is being hard on him as he walked 10 miles a day until he the injury on 29th December .
best wishes for your future RT
Liz & OH. Xx
Thankyou yes went very well today, hope things improve for you two keep going you are in my thoughts best wishes David
