Radiation after lumpectomy
wondering what's the normal time after lumpectomy does radiation start? I had the small cancer and one node with cancer removed on 1st April. ( one node had changing cells - pre cancer). Oncologist ...
@Sister All the best, my friend.
My husband used to put himself to bed on about day 5 for a couple of days .... then he was OK again, tho still tired. Watch out when out in the sun tho - some chemo can really get you sunburned! :( Eat whatever you fancy - you'll find your taste buds may be totally different too!
If you get itchy at all - common old Cornflour makes a HUGE difference! Stand in the shower or a bath & rub it gently over the affected parts - then get a family member to turn on the water to wash away the leftover powder!!
It will never be pleasant - but it is mopping up the bits you DON'T want to keep in your body. :neutral:
