next stage

I have had my first oncology appointment. So now I know a bit more about the next stage.  In a couple of weeks I will get another appointment for the set up then the radiation will start in 1 to 2 weeks after that.  In the mean time I am trying to get on with life and have gone back to the gym. I am pleased to report that the feeling of complete despair is now not so bad.

    Even though it is scary having a plan of treatment certainly makes you feel stronger and back in control somewhat. I was better once my treatment plan was set.

    Terrific that you have a better idea of your plan now @May20019  - yep, keep busy doing the things you love & it will stop your mind going into overdrive!!  I found Rads relatively 'ok' tho I had a couple of hiccups during it (not related to rads) that put me into a bit of a spin ...... 

    All the best for your on going treatment!  xx

    Funny isn't it! A treatment plan gives a sense of being in control.
    Fitness will assist with healing.

    Best wishes
