The end of radiotherapy
After eight months of non stop treatment I have come to the end of radiotherapy. Whooppeeee.
I can't complain, my skin may red but it is intact. I took part in a little study at the hospital to ...
Having breast cancer has also made me realize how important it is to look after our bodies with healthy eating and regular exercise. After my lumpectomy and axilla excision I opted for no chemo as it was of only 2% benefit of having it, but I had 7 weeks of radiotherapy and now am on Armidex for 5 years. It's been 2 and a half years and going well so far. The only side effect on Arimidex is overheating at night whilst sleeping , so don't Put too many blankets on or overdress. Doing yoga and aquafit keeps my joints agile and by eating foods that keep inflammation away. Good luck with your next stage of treatment. Sylvia
