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!!

  • Hi Richards Dad,

    Well done, getting that first one out of the way is always a relief (it took me 3 attempts to complete my planning scan!).  You will quickly get into a routine & before you know it you will be on number 20.

    Best Wishes

    Brian

  • Good Morning  

    Magic, I bet that's a great relief. As  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  , 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 Morning ,

    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 

  • Amazing  Richards Dad , xxx

  • Hope all goes to plan from now on and no more hiccups.  You will be surprised how quickly this time will pass and you will soon be at session 20.
