Holidays( Booking them when you don’t know What sort of treatment you are going to be on)
I started on Ibrance and Arimidex after
radiotherapy
for my spine. Unfortunately there was damage to my lungs during the biopsy( they didn't even manage to get a biopsy ) and I was in hospital for a week. It has been a real trial to try and get my lungs back to being able to walk about.

Radiation therapy for METS study
I was offered (I don't know yet if they accepted me) this study. Requires oligometastatic. I only have 2, still small. The study is to determine the usefulness of radiating small METS early to compare survival time. My RO here in San Antonio is the principle investigator along with MD Anderson in

Bradycardia - Slow Pulse Rate.
Had
Radiotherapy
in Feb 2019 and am now recovering from the treatment. During this the medics noticed my pulse rate was quite low 40/50’s. I was referred to Cardiology and having had an overnight heart monitor, I am now going to have a heart loop fitted in a couple of weeks.

Right upper lobe cancer & pulmonary fibrosis
I don't believe they will offer
radiotherapy
as she was previously told at one of her appointments as to my knowledge
radiotherapy
causes scarring therefore this would make her pulmonary fibrosis worse . Think she may have got this pulmonary fibrosis from previous
radiotherapy
for breast cancer.

Bit of a rant (sorry!)
(I lost my central vision due to having proton beam
radiotherapy
for an occular melanoma about 3/4 years ago. I'm 27 now and forever grateful for the brilliant care I received going through that.)

Just getting started
We discussed different
radiotherapy
- LDR & HDR brachytherapy, external beam radiation alone, and Sterostatic Body Radiation Therapy [SBRT] - which they suggested might be a good course of treatment in my case.

Stage 4 NSCLC with metatasis to brain
As this is stage 4 it’s non treatable but they suggest
radiotherapy
to the whole brain And then immunotherapy to the lung. We have been told they have limited time. With the side effects of
radiotherapy
do these outweigh the extra time it offers?

Week 8 done - whoo hoo!
Second attempt I had to give up as a course of
radiotherapy
and running don’t go well together- apparently! This time I am going to make it! Ok it may take me 13 weeks rather than 9 but who’s counting!
