Cancer treatment update- 2 more radiation sessions to go
Poast new message in this thread
Date: May 13th, 2024 2:53 PM Author: odious senate Started radiation last Thursday and Had my third of 5 radiation therapy sessions today. feel pretty worn out and tired. Went to bed at 8 pm last night.
So far Chemotherapy side effects were definitely harsher and more noticeable than this though.
Every time I go to the cancer center everyone else in the waiting room are in their 70s. Keep wondering if I’ll run into someone my age in a similar situation that I could strike up a conversation with but hasn’t happened yet. I might connect with one of those young people with cancer support groups just for the hell of it and see if I can make some cancer friends. (Yes, I’m gay)
Will be resuming chemo next week. |

Date: May 13th, 2024 3:00 PM Author: odious senate I believe they do a follow up mri and pet scan after the end of chemotherapy in 4 months or so. If the tumor is completely eliminated (happens in about 25% of cases) then I’m done. If the cancer is still there then I’ll have to go through surgery a few weeks after chemo is done…we’ll see what unfolds (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5528110&forum_id=2#47658214) |
