Radiation - my experience

Hi everyone,

I just wanted to add something to my original post but not sure if I can or how to do it.

Between planning and about the third week of radiation (which would have been around six weeks) I lost almost 5 kilos.  I did not try to lose any weight during this time (however during 'normal' life I spend a lot of time agonising over my weight and how to lose the excess).  Anyway, my point is that when I made a general chit chat comment to the radiation therapist she said that if I lost too much they would have to do the planning again.  She didn't say how much was too much weight, but the thought of having to go through planning again and have the radiation window extended further was not at all appealing to me.  I interpreted this information as a sign to eat all the ice cream ::smile:

So just be aware that if you do lose (or gain as well I guess), it may impact the original planning.

Hope you are all having a lovely Sunday afternoon.
