Hello Blueyonder and welcome to the site.

I'm sure there will be somebody along to advise you, please don't feel ignored if it takes a little while.

All the best Sandra

Hi,

Sorry for your OH's position but I know that I felt totally wrecked finishing 37 RT sessions.

I didn't have the problems you refer to but hopefully the medication can help.

From my own experiences it took several months to readjust to a more normal way of life, so don't expect too much to soon.

Hope all goes well for you both.

Blueyonder, did you contact the nurse specialist, your partner's oncologist or the radiotherapy suite? Or do you know whether anyone in A&E did? If not, I think it would be a really good idea to get on the phone to your allocated nurse tomorrow and confirm that the onco is aware - if it was my husband or dad I would want the onco to give him a check over just in case it is nothing to do with the radiotherapy!
