Had my Lutetium treatment in Windsor yesterday, and so far no issues.

3 hours to Windsor in private hire car. Approx 4 hours in treatment room, (Inc. lunch), 3 hours back. So long but relaxing day.

Constipation also cleared this morning which is another bonus.

Don’t know if it psychological but on waking I currently have no pain at all? No chest, leg, hip, or rib pain which has been bugging me for over a week.

Just had my morning tabs with the addition of 4 times deximethazone, which I new take at 4 per day for 3 days, the 3 per day for 4 days.

Also supplied with some antibiotics to take if I develop any water infection.

So at the moment it’s onwards and upwards? With full bloods required in 2 and 4 weeks time to check if I’m still eligible for infusion 2 in approx 6 weeks time.

Anyway just off for a jog and a game of golf, neither of which I’ve been able to do since March??(only joking)!! Gonna take it easy and see how things develop.

Thanks for all the good wishes and I ll update as/when applicable.

Good to hear you have finally started the treatment and that the pain you were having has deminished. I contacted Bristol today to see if they are still recruiting, but they have now filled all available places so that's no longer an option for me. Fingers crossed for you that it gives the cancer a good kicking.

All the best

After first day when everything seemed to calm down there’s been a bit of a change—since then Heavy cold sweats at least 4 times a night, necessitating complete change of bed and sleeping clothes. Also bit of a dry mouth but nothing that can’t be controlled by a drink or a boiled sweet.

Some pain in lower back area, but then again as my regime at the moment is mainly bed, sit down in chair, bed, that’s hardly surprising. Hoping to get back to a bit more exercise next week but very lethargic at mo.

Still staying at least a metre away from missus and dog as advised for 7 days. Then at least able to sit in same room for limited time during week two. Weeks 3-6 should be back to normal but we ll just wait and see.

Full Bloods to be taken after 2 then 4 weeks to check on kidney plus bone marrow impact to see if ok to go back for infusion 2 in about 6 weeks. But still awaiting full details of same from Windsor.

All in all whilst I’ve got something to do, eg watching rugby and footie all over weekend, it’s not to bad, and whilst I will no doubt watch a bit a day-time tv later, I hoping to get stuck into my new Sam Warburton book today for a bit of escapism?,

So unless anything untoward crops ups I ll update you all again as applicable.

1st 2 weeks are the worst when the radioactive substance in your body is doing what it says on the tin.

Week 3 should be fine if my experience is anything to go by.
