Radiotherapy

Hi  I have read your bio you really have been on the proverbial rollercoasters. There is a thread on page 2 started by MarmiteFan59 it is very informative and gives loads of tips and advice. I can’t realty give any advice yet as my sessions don’t start until next week. Enjoy your trips and good fortune for the future

Thank you so much, I will look at it now. Good luck with your sessions. I have read your bio and you have a lot to deal with. Wishing you and your husband best wishes. x

Thank you much appreciated, it’s tough at times but after 36 years together love really will see us through

Hi Debbie

1. How lovely to hear your outlook has improved.   I start radiotherapy in May also so cant comment on the side effects but was told usually affects bowels and bladder maybe urine infections constipation etc. all in all doesnt sound too bad.  Good luck with your treatment.

Zebralynn, just to say that I had no side effects at all till halfway through week 4 when I just had a bit of bloating and occasional urgency, but no diarrhoea and no bladder issues. 

That sounds good thank you

Thanks Zebraylynn/Debbie - it's funny but there are a few Debbies on here, it's the age group I think

I have been told that my last CT scan showed no cancer, just some stranding which they think is my diverticular, this is why I think I will suffer with the radiotherapy but we will see. I am just glad I am being offered it as it wasn't an option initially. Good luck with your treatment too x
