Radiation oedema

Hi all, unexpectedly my breast has doubled in size during my first week of radiotherapy. Painful and I'm quite paranoid about how far this is going to go.

At my first meeting with the registrar she said it was oedema. She referred me to the hospital therapist who called and said treatment will start in another 3 weeks after treatment is over.

Can anyone offer any help with how to manage until then?
