Almost finished chemo, radiation next.......anyone use the DIBH technique?
Although I am on the downhill run of chemo I'm not yet feeling like it, I think that is because I know I still have more to come. Did anyone else feel this way? My friends and family are all excited and counting down and I'm not feeling the same level of excitement as them, I actually feel like I still have a bit of an uphill battle to go.
So far I have had:
lumpectomy and Sentinel Node biopsy (1 node removed)
portacath inserted (and failed portacath attempt)
4 x AC
9 of 12 x Paclitaxel
Still to go:
3 x Paclitaxel
6 weeks of radiation plus boosters yet to be confirmed
I am yet to go for my radiation planning day (first tattoo!) but am looking for some tips on preparation for radiation, and any tips for during and after radiation?
Did anyone use the Deep Inspiration Breath Hold technique? My centre isn't doing this yet and as I have left TNBC I am very aware of how my heart is the firing line, so am keen to hear if anyone used this and may ask to go to a centre that does use this. Or any other experiences with left BC and radiation?
did anyone use a cling wrap type product? My Yoga instructor told me about this.
many thanks beautiful ladies.
