Radiotherapy help
Hi, this is my first post. I started radiotherapy on Monday after 2 surgeries. I'm getting a funny taste in my mouth. Can anyone tell me if this is something they experienced?
Any other tips about the...
Hi Georgie,
We are the lucky ones, aren't we? I too have had the shooting pains in my breast. So far skin is Ok but I'm moisturising morning and night to hopefully keep any problems at bay. I'm doing 5 days a week and will finish around the same time as you.
Not ridiculously tired so far - I work full-time and have 2 teeange boys, so I'm used to being on the go. Have to hope the reported fatigue doesn't get me, but my employers are being great, so if I need days off, or late starts/early finishes they will accommodate. That funny taste in my mouth only lasted about 36 hours, so hopefully it won't come back!
It's actually really great to have someone to talk to who's also going through this. My friends are fantastic, but they don't really get it and I don't want to talk about it all the time (nothing worse than a cancer bore !) so I do hope we can stay in touch while we go through this together. Thanks so much for replying.
Best wishes
Jo
