Cancer treatment update- 2 more radiation sessions to go
Poast new message in this thread
Date: May 13th, 2024 2:53 PM Author: Histrionic jet round eye pit 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: Histrionic jet round eye pit 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) |

Date: May 13th, 2024 7:13 PM Author: Histrionic jet round eye pit That’s ok, I appreciated his post and didn’t take it to be mean or unsympathetic at all. I am very aware that this could kill me in 20 years or even within the next few years and I’ve accepted it. Will probably be more difficult for my family to accept this than me (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5528110&forum_id=2#47659071) |

Date: May 13th, 2024 3:04 PM Author: Histrionic jet round eye pit Most people don’t lose hair on this particular chemo med (one I’m taking is called folfox which is commonly given for colorectal cancer), but some do. I haven’t noticed any hair loss or thinning yet but we’ll see what happens after the next couple cycles |
