Radiation Therapy

On Tuesday, I was scheduled to see the Radio Oncologist to see if radiation therapy could help me. I have to admit that I was concerned that things would proceed slowly, with at least a week's wait before I would start treatment.

Not at all. When the doctor met me, it was clear that she had already studied my file and had identified possible sites to be treated. Furthermore, she had already set up appointments for marking and for my first treatment THE VERY SAME DAY. I was quite impressed and thankful.

So I have now actually had three treatments, and this series of will finish on Monday.

The sites being treated are those that caused me the most pain: the leg that was operated on, my right rear pelvis and my sternum. These are all locations where the cancer has attacked the bone (metastases).

The pain is already declining, but I still required help to walk, in the form of a walker or crutches. I have very little in the way of side effects, mostly just tiredness, plus some soreness at one of the radiation sites. Based on what I was told in March, it can take up to four weeks for the full benefits to be felt.
