LY - follow-up

I managed to catch up with LY at NCC this morning when she went for her 5th dose of radiotherapy on the whole head.

She looked very weak and was in a wheelchair. She had complained of giddiness and loss of appetite.

She said that the radiotherapy is causing her tumours to swell which is making her very uncomfortable. I spoke to M and we were not very sure if her giddiness and discomfort is a reaction to the RT. As M put it, LY had just seen her onco yesterday, and if there was any problem, the onco would have put a stop to her RT treatment.

We would probably have to wait until LY completes her full course of 12 doses of RT before we know for sure.
