@TerryTee, I had left sided bc radiation with Mepitel and the breathhold thing. It was quite easy, so don’t worry. Something I wished I had been aware of earlier was the nausea and loss of appetite.

I wish I had known they were common side effects and asked for anti-nausea medication. Best of luck with it all xx
