Hi all I wondered if anyone could offer some advice on their stay in hospital for this treatment, I am worried about being in isolation for 5 days it seems like a long time and there’s not much to do as you're stuck in one room.
Also are there any common side effects of the treatment?
Thank you

That’s exactly what we were gonna do....have a girly few days doing the things you suggested. I was actually looking forward to it cos, like you said, don’t get chance to do it that often in our busy lives. I then just started to get anxious about it all. I’m sure it will be fine and ive had to have a word with myself and be thankful im not having chemo.
I bought my sherbet lemons this morning and I bought a toothbrush I can bin after (don’t know if I have to just made sense to me
)
I am of the same thinking as you about the vascular invasion. Makes sense in my mind that there’s an avenue for spread Oncologist says the chance is less than 1% so will just have to take his word for it. I was annoyed though as I wasn’t told about the vascular invasion at all. I read it on a copy of my GP letter.
Anyway Lass, thankyou once again for all of your advice. Very, very much appreciated.
