Finally feeling like a 'cancer patient'
Hi Ladies,
Happy 2016 to everyone and I hope you are all doing well.
I've finally started my radiation treatment and am one week down out of six and I hate to say it but its been horrible and I ...
Hi Ness
I finished 6 weeks of radiotherapy before Christmas. It is a very lonely experience and one that most people can't relate to. The daily routine of going to the hospital, getting undressed and into your gown, then the waiting and then the procedure.. its a lot.
However I really do believe that staying positive (like it sounds you have been up until now) is the absolute best thing you can do. The 6 weeks will fly by- I could not believe how quickly that time went. I continued to work though all my treatment (chemo included) and I can't stress enough how much I believe mental attitude has to do with recovery.
All the best, stay strong and keep busy.
