What Kind of Radiation Did You Get for Your Gynecological Cancer?

Started radiation on the 14th ( thanks to you no surprises ) and Chemo the following day. Lots of nauseousa and fatique for a couple of days. Now in over one full week and feel surprisingly good. Sleeping alot. Eating lots of small high calorie snacks and meals throughout the day. No desire to really do anything but I am going to make a point to do some yoga and walking everyday. The puppy is going to be my prize when I get through this!
I do have question as one one of my doctors mentioned doing immunotherapy after. Wondering if this is a common follow up plan?
Hope you have a happy and healthy day! Thanks for checking in!

@rainyp. Thank you for checking back in here. You've been taking good care of yourself with lots of sleep and good nutrition. Yes, walking every day and doing yoga will keep you feeling even better. That's what the radiation oncologist told me and I'd like to think that helped. But then I did not have the chemotherapy infusions so you have more to deal with than I did.
Cancer treatment is so individualized now and oncologists have a lot of tools to rely upon. Immunotherapy may indeed be a common follow up plan that may not have been there only a few years ago. It's amazing to me how many advances happy almost daily with cancer care and treatment. I'm curious what your doctor tells you when you ask about immunotherapy.
And then is bringing a dog home a common follow-up plan too? Tee-hee. 😀
I hope you have a good day too and the weather is just right for you to talk that walk today.
Will you check back in here tell me how you are doing during the next week?
