Radiation - my experience
Hi Everyone, I finished 25 sessions of radiation on the 3rd Jan 2019 and thought I would write about my experience of the whole process. It will be a long post, so get a cup of tea ready :) ...

Hi everyone,
Just an update, I have some redness coming out now (one week today since finishing rads) an area about 5cm x 2cm which gets a bit itchy and hot if I get hot, eg, while gardening or housework, the gardening is totally worth it though :). I am using a lot of moogoo and other creams that I purchased in preparation. I don't know if it is because the mepitel is coming off though and I am not going back to get it patched up. I am really enjoying being 'free' from treatment at the moment.
My next step is to start Tamoxifen, I am not looking forward to that! I am going to ring around the local pharmacies and find out about cost and different brands, and I will do some searches on here to find out how others have managed.
@Finch, yes, I love birds and love your username as well. I find walking around in the bush looking for birds is so calming (well, except that one time that I disturbed a wild pig!!), I have to listen and watch to locate them.
@Chris51 Best wishes with the remainder of your treatment.
@Mantis Hope your planning meeting goes smoothly.
@Shellshocked2018_ I hope that yesterday went well for you.
