What happens now?

I've now had my 5 lots of radiotherapy, everything went to plan but with radiotherapy you don't usually experience side effects till a week or so after your first dose, thought things were going well until Friday when I started to feel unwell,radiotherapy to the pelvis can cause chaos to the bowel and bladder and boy don't I know it!. I think today I'm finally coming out of the radiotherapy cloud!, I've managed to get and about with my mum this morning,however now I'm in need of my bed for a few hours before my children return home from school. I'm really not sure what is next for me I have an appointment with my oncologist but I've just noticed it's not till 11th November, i hope for a scan before then to see what damage the radio has done to the bas***d thing growing in my pelvis. My hope is that they would be able to offer me more radio but they know I'm prepared to take any option they can give me although I know deep down I'm just about out of all options, I won't give up though I need to be here to see Jess and Adam off to school in a morning and be here for them on an afternoon when they return home,I need to see them growing up into adulthood. For now I treasure every single day I get to spend with them. Nodding off now. Keep smiling & cherish every day. Love Julie xx
