Radiation and Med treatment only

Sorry to hear about your bc diagnosis but welcome to this network.I think it  depends on the sort of work you do.Also,it's hard to predict how you'll go with radiation.Some women breeze through it and some burn badly.You will possibly get  tired about halfway through treatment because the radiation is also destroying some red blood cells so your body has to make up more each time. I had plenty of sick leave and holiday leave so I had the 6 weeks off and I was glad I did.I was red and sore and very tired by the end of it.But my skin never broke down.I would put aloe vera gel on straight after the zap.I would soak in a warm salt bath at night then dry and apply vit e cream. If you have any concerns about your proposed treatment then you could always seek a second opinion or talk to your breast care nurse. Blog back here any time for info and support because it's a scary time for you. Somehow knowing others have been through it and survived seems to help.Sending hugs,Tonya xx
