@@akshatsharma5265 I have a genetic syndrome so it keeps showing up in different places. thanks for asking. good luck to all going through treatments. you almost need to be an athlete but drs., nurses and meds are amazing and make it doable.

I wish I had this doctor in charge of my case. I met my physician the other day and he was very melodramatic and just told me bluntly basically commanding me to ring an ambulance if my temp gets to 38 degrees. Later on I rang the cancer hotline and a nurse very calmly reassuringly educated me as to why. That's all it takes is a bit of empathy and calm in delivering information. Just wondering how radiotherapy reacts when given daily along with these chemo meds.

I'm a RN and I read your complaints. Everything you are saying is so very true. Now do t Know if your doctor's did not explain your medication or any procedure do's and the don't The reason I I'm asking is because if you didn't 8:52 understand what he said too you this is awful and the doctor should have been reported.I would never ever let him touch me again and put in a request for another Doctor

@@dorothyreese672 Hey, thanks heaps for the reply. A year on, the beast has progressed to stage 4, in my lymph nodes. I am on immunotherapy, - Nivolumab. and Folfox 6. Which is fun. It's all good, dealing with chemo brain. Driving off without paying for stuff. I have a port in my chest now so they can pump me with meds. I feel like an electric vehicle or android. I am seeing an exercise physiologist to deal with fatigue and occupational therapist to consult for work issues. I just have the attitude that I am so lucky to be still here and every day is a bonus.

you made me cry... I'm so sorry you had to go through that.?

[@Alpha_7227]

Just been told I will be taking these meds once a week along with radiotherapy daily for 6 wks. Let the games begin. I am trying not to play the game out in my head, just taking one issue at a time as I come across it. Also wondering if I get covid. Omicron or Deltacron strain at the moment, what will happen.

I'm about to start on the same regimen you did one year ago. What side effects did you have? How are you?

[@Alpha_7227]

@@stevemartyn3138 I was lucky. I was on the treatment for about 4 weeks. Only felt a little fatigued but because they put me on steroids it kept me up half the night. I felt like I was on a different time zone. Generally I felt alright. All the best. You will get through it.
