I'm starting treatment on Monday. 5 chemo 25 radio and 2 brachytherapy. I've had back pain and neck pain and now I'm experiencing slight dizziness and nosebeeleds! I feel that nobody is listening to these symptoms despite me saying them at every appointment I go to. I'm scared to say the least.

Hello again Ags Jos :-)
Of course you are scared. Chemo-radiation therapy is a big new thing for you and you are going into the unknown. By Monday evening you will be feeling so much less anxiety than you are now. I am not a doctor but I am absolutely sure that the dizziness and nosebleeds stem from anxiety and are not further symptoms of cancer. Please try your very best to have a fun weekend with friends and/or family to distract yourself from thinking too much about next week. I promise you that when you start treatment you will find it's a lot less scary than you imagine.
Be lucky
Tivoli
