Radiation Therapy and work
Hi, I have recovered well from a unilateral mastectomy for phyllodes tumour. My team have recommended radiation therapy, still waiting to find out if it will be for 3-6 weeks. I am a primary school ...
I had 20 doses and did feel really tired. I didn't work at all through treatment. I think part of the tiredness was driving myself to and from appointments every day. About 30 minutes each way. Which probably seems like nothing to those in regional areas but I live on my own and had no help with anything so I had to cope with chores and cooking and generally living. So I took a lot of naps and rested when I could.
There's no shame if you need to take time off. Do what works best for you.
