treatment
Hi Everyone, i start radiotherapy on 24 Feb. I feel good about it as i have a very good team for support and positive family and friends behind me. Im just glad that the lead up to this is over and n...
Cheryl, Christine & Marlee, I've had 14 of 25 radio so far. I'm also lucky not to need chemo. I can only speak from my own experience. I'm still trying to work 4 shifts per week & racing to & from appointments - tiring. I started radio about 8 weeks post op - I had a therapeutic mammoplasty so I'm still recovering ?? As of treatment 5, I could start to feel a little like a sunburn sensation but not too bad. As of treatment 12, I've felt really tired as expected. As of treatment 14, I have some almost spotted reddening & an area along the crease of solid reddening & burning sensation, also swollen & tender breast. They told me no heat or cold packs. I also have Mepitel dressing applied to help prevent friction against bra/clothing & that makes me feel warmer. Overall it's uncomfortable but do-able ?? I have my last treatment on Feb 22nd. We can do this ?? I wish you all the best.?? Feel free to keep in touch. ??
