I waited a week for my biopsy results and less than a week later started my chemotherapy today, hence still awake!! I would imagine it would depend on where you live for one, what type you have and how busy your hospital is. I am due to be treated in three different hospitals if each course works,chemotherapy, radiotherapy then surgery the second two due to happen at two different hospitals in Cambridge so quite a trip….
Unfortunately, sleeplessness seems to go with the territory of cancer treatment. The three factors you mention all have a definite impact on how quickly we get our results. It sounds as if you have quite a journey ahead of you - I hope that it all goes well. It sounds as if you are attending some well respected hospitals and you are fortunate that everything has started so quickly. Please keep in touch and let us know how you get on and remember that we are always here for you.
I’m down in Plymouth our local hospital keeps being blacklisted for waiting times but unsure if they do it there or Exeter as average waiting times for non urgent are 28 days and I’ve gone past that now! Sorry to hear that yours wasn’t good news, I haven’t really been told much except it was a 1-2cm polyp in the sigmoid and that’s it
I had my first course of chemotherapy on Monday five hours worth now at Wednesday evening and not a single side effect although I am told they should kick in next week?!
Thank you for the update. I am delighted to hear that you haven't had any side-effects from your chemo. They do tend to kick in, the further into your journey you are, but some people get by with few effects, so here's hoping that you are one of the lucky ones!
Thank you for the update. I'm delighted to hear that you have had no side-effects from the chemo so far. They do kick in the further along in your treatment, but some people get by with very few effects, so here's hoping that you'll be one of the lucky ones!
