Day 8 of trial

[RwHayes]

Hi all,

I have made it through week 2 of my trial, only 2 treatments left. All of my side effects have been pretty mild, I have mild burns on my temples, a little bit of dizziness randomly throughout the week, and now fatigue is setting in. But honestly all of these are very mild when compared to the way I felt during concurrent radiation and chemo to lung. I'm glad I did the trial I think it was the right thing to do , for many reasons. I guess after Tuesday I'm off the hook at least til June 29th, when I have scans again.

Sincerely ,

RW

So glad to read that you are doing so well and have tolerated treatment so far. What are they giving you to relieve the burns? When I experienced burns during my breast cancer treatment my dr had me use Aquaphor and when it got really bad Silvadene. (For that treatment though there were 6 weeks of radiation.)

Thanks Denzie ,

I've been just using curel daily before and after so it seems to be working.

HI Rw, I am very happy things are going well (considering), and really glad that you have found peace with your decision. Keep fighting and big happy hugs to you.

Hi RW!! Great to hear your new treatment has only mild side effects. Yes, chemotherapy and radiation can wear you out. Been there twice. I have small cell lung cancer and now being treated with immunotherapy called Keytruda. This is my third treatment for the small cell. Finally getting positive results.

You are a real trooper and warrior in your fight against this monster called cancer. I feel I am too!! God bless!!

Take care,
