My Experience with Chemo/Radiotherapy
I never had
radiotherapy
the first time round, just 5/28 cycles of temozolomide for the best part of eight years, and that was full-dose TMZ, not the partial doses.

Starting again after cancer....
Now it's almost August, and I have completed my treatments of Chemo and
Radiotherapy
. I am down to 12 stone from 14+. I am also still weak as a kitten, suffering from fatigue and only just starting to eat solid foods again. (Almost up to 1200 calories a day!)

Queries made with NHS
7: I had 2 sessions of palliative
radiotherapy
of 8 gray each which worked a small miracle by reducing tumour from 9cm to 2.5cm, but I have been advised no more
radiotherapy
can be given. True, or not true? Sorry to be a pain and keep harping on, and I am NOT chasing compo.

Extra Mammary Paget's Disease.
Due to Ulcerative Colitis, unable to have
radiotherapy
, so now it's incurable. In March 2023, diagnosed with this new cancer. The frequent leaking was assumed to be the cause of the rash around the scrotum. Please be aware of this rash which is often mistaken for eczema and often is missed.

I’ve had
radiotherapy

? If so can I do anything about it and what pain medication can I take that doesn’t dope me out.
