Oncologist planning meeting

Hi Chrissie, I’m not having chemo but on my radiotherapy visits (I’ve had 14 of 25) I’ve made a friend who is having the chemoradiation combo for cervical cancer and she’s doing really well. She’s having carbaplatin and has been tolerating it well and with no hair loss. We see each other most days so chat quite a lot. Wishing you all the best.

Thanks MarmiteFan59 you’re over halfway !

Hi Chrissie, Good to read there's light at the end of the tunnel. I didn't have the same treatment so hopefully some of the ladies here who've had the same will be along soon to reply.

Sending hugs, Barb xx 

Hi Chrissie

Thats fantastic news, You will get it over and done with really quickly and not drag it on all through the summer. Do you have a date when it will start yet?  I go for my Oncology appointment Monday and this has given me such a lift to hear that its feasible to do both togther. Maybe it's possible for both at the same time because it's only  Carbaplatin and not a combination of Chemo drugs. It will be really interesting to hear from any of the ladies who have had the same as this.

Big hugs Robin xxx

Hi Robin 

It was quite a surprise when he said that was the best option and yes I do think it’s because of only Carbaplatin - I don’t have a date as my wound is till open in parts and Im still getting it packed and dressed daily but he’s provisionally planned my planning scan for three weeks to give it more time  to heal. So Im reckoning maybe a week or so after that - early June. My local hospital James Cook  is one of the leading cancer treatment hospitals so I feel Im in safe hands. Thoughts with you for you Monday appointment .

Hugs Chrissie xx

Fabulous news Chrissie.  Not long now and you will be all sorted.

EDIT - Cisplatin not Carbaplatin - got wrong drug name in my head ! 

Bless you - that’s quite important as there can be a varying amount of hair loss with that one.
