Cancer Support Thread 96: It’s nearly Christmas - get the sprouts on.

[LemonDrizzle10]

New thread - old one nearly full!

@Poledra So far so good, but I’ve only had 3 sessions, I was told about a week before fatigue sets in. Some sessions have been moved to the nearer hospital which cuts off an hour of travelling, thankfully. The actual treatment is a bit odd in that you know something is happening but you feel nothing outwardly - yet!

Hope yours go well, I have no idea about infusions but fingers crossed they don’t make you feel too grim.

I’ve got my zolendronic acid a week on Monday, @Poledra Wondering if I can drive myself to and from or wether I’ll need ds to drive me. Hope yours goes with no incident.

Hi @Poledra I had eight of the Zolendronic acid infusions. They are initially fine, just a 30 to 45 minute infusion with no particular side effects. With the first one, and about half of them overall, I got a flu-like reaction about 36 hours later with a mild fever and a lot of aching bones. This lasted about three days. There didn’t seem to be any obvious reason why some affected me and some didn’t. I would leave a few days after clear of challenges just in case.

Is there a new thread? This one seems to have ended?

I’ve tried setting up a new thread but have no idea how to do it - the title is below - no idea how to share the link
