@Dan_M did you have the first immunotherapy treatment yesterday? If yes, how are you feeling today?

Hi Paul, still strangely tired from bug last week.

Immunotherapy went ahead yesterday and so far no side effects of note.

So far so good.

Sounds like you have a bit of post-viral fatigue from the bug. Hopefully, it will pass soon.
Pleased the treatment started, and you are mostly side effect-free so far.

Thanks Paul, the fatigue is driving me nuts. Talking sleeping 12 to 14 hours per night. And exhausted during the day!

Fatigue can be a challenge, I would listen to your body for now and once you start feeling a bit less fatigued go for a gentle walk or some other light exercise. Trying to overdo it doesn’t work, so put on the system and just go with the flow whilst listening to some music.

Good news hopefully the main (and only) side effect is it’s a success and it helps rebuild your immune system. Take care.

As all others have said, fatigue is normal but very annoying, the body repairing itself whilst not active.
Best wishes

Hi guys,

I have been struggling with energy levels and motivation. I have been forcing myself to do things, nothing major, like going out and about and some light work.

Spending time with people too. It’s working. It’s very easy to get stuck in a rut and vegetate.

Treatment side affects are mainly itchiness and psoriasis.

Thanks for asking

Dead right I’ve had a few months laying low and it’s very easy to lose your way. Glad to read your coping, you young blokes have so much stamina. :upside_down_face:

Hi @Svetty,

Energy levels increased. Maybe at 50% now which is better than 20% a few weeks ago.

Experiencing hair loss from previous chemo or maybe I am now going bald :woman_bald: :thinking:.

Waiting game as to effectiveness of treatment. Scans end of June.

If immunotherapy works it will be a game changer. Otherwise looking at clinical trials and monitoring.

Staying strong and positive

I am pleased to hear your energy levels are heading in the right direction. Sorry about the hair.

Are you able to get out and about, see your children, and cause minor earthquakes of the focal/naim kind?

I’ve been out and about every day. Did 2 days work for customer last week.

Been seeing kids.

Listening to system a fair bit. LP12 sounding great. Looking forward to new firmware for ND555. But listening to ND555 alot too. And yes blasting Russian Techno :muscle:

I am definitely feeling better mentally and physically!

With longer days coming and improved weather it improves my outlook too!

Maybe have to go grade 1 on top with fade to 0.5 next week. It’s becoming annoying.

Hair on top is coming out on pillows and after combing hair. Also have psoriasis kicking in. A very short hair cut may be needed!

If ladies love it then it’s a bonus.
