Radiotherapy

Hi Dj manic I kept a very bland diet and kept away from any gas inducing food.  Did 37 sessions without being bounced once.  I did allow a variation on Friday evening but then back to what worked.  Once you find a routine, I suggest you stick to it.

Thank you  for your help all the best to you

Hello Dj manic 

Things to avoid - Coffee, Fizzy Drinks, Alcohol , Green Leaf Vegetables, Beans and Pulses.

Quite often I walked to the hospital (I live a mile away) so that helped. Never bounced once!!

Good luck with the next 16 fractions,

Best wishes - Brian.

Thank you for your help all the best to you 

I spoke to my GP about the same problem, she prescribed me WindSetlers much to the suprise of the Radiotherapy department,  they put a stop to me missing days, I had missed 4 and was told that if I missed another one my treatment would be put on hold.

They worked for me.

Hi Dj Manic, at my appointments in Ninewells Dundee the nurses provided a diet sheet with doe’s and dont’s recommendations. I stuck by it Mon to Fri after I had experienced urgency in the bowel department a couple of weeks in. Treated myself on a Friday evening though. Never got bounced at all in 33 sessions which I was determined to keep a clean sheet so to speak. Maybe worth asking your team. We had a nurse meeting about a couple of weeks in but they were always around for advice 

Thank you I have a review on Tuesday  so will ask. 

Thank you
