radiation / nausea and fatigue!?

Hi @starsparkles I think Joey Liz may have identified the possible core issue of your nausea. I have been having herceptin infusions, CT Scans, Heart scans and taking Anastrozole for seven years. A few weeks ago a biopsy revealed a recurrence under the masectomy scar tissue and I am to start radiation treatment soon. Since hearing of the recurrence I have felt 'off colour' and a bit 'spacey' in the form of making mistakes in my diary and short term memory problems, also decrease in appetite. I knew something was not quite right so I phoned a counsellor with the WA Cancer Council and felt very reassured by her words, 'Beryl, its been seven years! Let's think about that!' From what I've learned about radiation on this discussion list your nausea could be both physical and pyschological. I agree, talk this over with the nurses and if the nausea continues then maybe your GP and/or counsellor. Over the years I have had 'talks' with the hospital chaplain and mostly its been about negotiating life with a serious health issue. I always come away feeling a bit 'lighter'.

Please let us know how you are getting on. xBeryl
