Started Radiation 'boost' today
Hello everyone! Today I'm on my final wk of Radiation. The boost as we call it. And I must say I'm so happy not to have to hold my damn breath for this 1!!! Most of you know I'm a radiation therapist...
@bakerr Congrats on getting through all that !
You only need to hold your breathe in certain cases ,left side BC,and its not offered to all .
Radiation for me was ok lay there for a 2 mins approx, nothing to feel or see straight away.
Turned pale pink & now after booster have a tennis ball size red mark ,but this is now receding 2 weeks after I finished.
Worst part for me was the tedious trip there & back every day for 4 weeks and lying still without cramping !!
Good luck xx
