Starting radiation

Well, I’ve had my coaching session with the deep breathing. Not as scary as I thought, and I’m sure I’ll get better at it. Today I had my planning session, so start on 10th April.    My cording has moved diwn my arm closer to my elbow so physio came and saw me as well.   I’ve also joined a heart health trial for those with left side radiation. Having an mri and ultrasound of my heart on Sunday, then another six months after radiation finishes.  Also got my treatment nurse.  I had a breast care nurse for before and during surgery, now get another one for rads.  Just love this hospital.  If you have to have this rotten thing, at least everyone around you is friendly and helpful.
  • Well done Libby. I'm so pleased you're happy with your care. And good on you for taking part in a trial. Onwards and upwards!
