Radiotherapy tenderness - is this normal?

hi Lunanoire what Jen said, the radiation is still working even on your days off but the staff will check you & you should tell them anyway they will call the Dr if they are unsure. There is probably a nurse available to talk too if you ask (i had access to one plus they check you each week) Try & eat properly even if it is only small amounts drink plenty of water & plaster the moisturiser on ur skin will drink it (use what they have recommended because it has to be metal free)I tan well so was quiet shocked when i burned & blistered whilst another lady who's skin was snow white barely even coloured, we both started on the same day so i was the doobey with the dressings & yes it was painful u think gee can i do this but u can and u do, then months later its like a figment of ur imagination albeit u have a weird suntan front & back (yes it goes through)if i knew how to upload a photo id post it the radiation ladies were very obliging when i asked them to take a photo of me under the machine, i had not seen any photos of the radiation stage so found it scary but then u r only in for a few minutes. They actually said they had never been asked to take a photo before so were quiet chuffed - there is always a laugh to be had no matter what, i think they need it as much as us. Hope the rest of ur course goes well its a pain but u get it done & ticked off the list. cheers
