Hi Iv had 2 treatments & have felt the tiredness straight away. I thought it might have been caused by something else as I didn't think it would affect me so soon, but my GP assured me that it was the rad. After the first treatment I slept for 24 hours & after the one today it was 6 hours & Im going to sleep again soon. The thing I have been wondering about is, the hospital gave me some sorbolene & for the life of me I cant work out how Im supposed to use it with the plastic all over my chest LOL. I don't know how long it usually takes for the skin to react but am not looking forward to it as Iv got REALLY sensitive skin anyway
