Just had the appointment with the radiation oncologist and his team today and have the start date now for chemo/radiation - Tuesday 9th July.

Day 1 will be combined chemo, followed by radiation treatment but one thing we forgot to ask is whether I'll need anyone with me at home on day 2 onwards...

We've been told the week following chemo is the hardest (chemo-wise) but would I be OK by myself or would it be best to have someone with me? I'm unsure how "unwell" I'll feel being that it's only the beginning.

Thanks for your advice.
