Hi mulberrys,

Welcome to Cancer Chat. I'm sorry to read about what you're going through and I hope you're getting on OK at the moment.

With your first question, it may be best to speak to your doctor about this if you have questions about your treatment. If you'd like to discuss anything with our nurses, who may be able to advise, you can reach them on 0808 800 4040 - Monday-Friday, 9-5.

In terms of your second question, hopefully there are some others here with similar experience to share - my reply here will boost your post so more people will see it. You could also try browsing or searching the forum - using the button in the blue bar above - for any relevant discussions if you haven't already.

Wishing you all the best,

Ben
