So I have a PET scan today, hoping it is negative. I start radiation next week on Wednesday.5 weeks. My nose is slowing healing. Have to keep it covered in public as it looks bad but it is healing. Hard to read as I have to hold my glasses above it. My energy isn’t as it shld be but I’m listening to my body and sleeping when I need it.
Roger glad you are seeing improvements after stopping radiation. Has your taste returned? Do you have any side effects from the immontherapy? I’m going to be referred to an oncologist who does immunotherapy here also.
Hanging in there! 🙂

Hi ,
Keeping my fingers crossed that you get the negative results. This is my 2nd round of radiation in the last 2 years. It's no fun but it does work well for MCC. Fatigue is a major factor with radiation. Keep listening to your body. It will tell you when you need to rest. All the best. Traci
