Hi Angie

I found the nebuliser really helpful and my support team st hospital lent me one to use.

as you say not that pricey and not the money but i went on the assumption the nhs ones were chosen for a reason and fit for purpose.

id see if they are able to lend you one to be honest

good luck with your appointment

kind regards

ian

Hi, just to let you know I used a Xyimelt for first time best nights sleep for a long time, thank you.....now can you help me with fatigue and no appetite please

I did put a couple of smiley faces at the end but didn't send lol

Hi Pleased the xyimelts worked. I'm still using them 3.5 years on. As for fatigue I'm sorry I've no magic wand for that one. You  might not like my answer but here goes Listen to your body don't fight it. My experiences were to start with inwas having 3  naps a day then 2 naps.  I stopped last September I was literally having a daily power nap 20 mins was enough for me. I sleep longer during the night as well.As for my power naps I woukd be uo around 0830 then try ti fit quick 20 min nap after lunch I  found the best way wa sti go to bed fully dressed close my eyes and off I went inwas rarely longer than 20 min hubby had instructions to walks me if I was longer than 30. This for me allowed me to stay awake uomtom11 pm. As we say we are all different so just listen to body   the radiotherapy really does take it out of you. 
As for appetite again only advise I can give you is I had 6 small meals a day spread through the day. smaller plates as well dinner plates can over face you The mantra food is fuel infoundnwas the way to go takes anythjng from 6 month to a year for appetite to return. It's really a case of  eat to live rather than live to eat .But it does get better for niw carry in getting the calories in .In all honesty I know yiu  might nit think it it's early days for yiu  my oncologist apologised he said I'm looking to cure yiu but will take a year out of yiur life he wasn't far out  it's baby steps some daysb2 forward and one back but yiu will get there we all do..

Good luck Hazel 

Thanks Hazel, I really appreciate your advice I will take it on board, its nice to know the fatigue is very common in most people, it's just trying to be patient, I'm beginning to realise this is going to take a lot longer to fully recover than I thought
