chemo radiation

[Planting]

hi

I wrote several weeks ago that I was undergoing chemo radiation for rectal cancer and had to stop my hydroxy for 8 weeks . I was worried about the outcome and I am reporting that my readings went up to 700 and than settled at 520. I am back on hydroxy now so if anyone is undergoing similar it may put their minds at rest. ThAnkyou for the help and advice

I am glad your MPN treatment has recovered pretty well and wishing same for chemo. That’s a lot to go through—I admire your courage. Thank you for sharing.

Glad that is behind you and things are moving forward. I can't tell you how much it means to hear from someone with such a positive attitude. Good for you and continued best wishes as the journey called life unfolds.

ThAnkyou .it helped that I was in Good hands at Christie’s Manchester who liased well with my haematologist at Blacburn (UK). If anyone finds themselves in my position which I’m sure will happen just listen to sound medical advice and get on with it.
