Start Radiation Tomorrow
Hi everyone - just wanted to post that I start radiation tomorrow (IDC, grade 1A, ER/PR positive). It simultaneously feels like it's taken forever to get to this point (diagnosed 23/12/22, surgery 03/...

Wishing you All the best, @Stone90 - I am so sorry you have to leave the family behind - but it will go 'quicker than you think' .... and you can do video calls to them every day as well xx.
I hope you can treat yourself & the family to a break after your treatment finishes ..... unfortunately the Otis Foundation doesn't have any retreats currently in WA - but you could contact them to be 'put on their list' for when retreats DO become available xx. Covid has prevented out of state retreats being available .... but they may come back as being available some time soon xx

Just remember to keep the moisturisers up to the area being treated (but not BEFORE your treatment - only after!)
Take care & I hope you find it 'as easy' as I did 5 years ago - your time frame is very similar to my own - tho mine finished at Easter!
All the best - and if we can help, just add to this thread xx
