Forum Discussion
I am day 19/25 through rads. I am definitely feeling the effects now, but it is different for everyone. I have quite bad fatigue-I have been working full-time until now but sleeping loads on the weekend and yesterday also slept for 2hrs when I got home from work ( I have quite a physical role), I don't think the heat is helping....
My advise: Take care of yourself, walk daily (even if you don't feel like it) and even if its only a short walk, eat well, drink lots of water, pile the cream on-I have been using MooGoo which is good, but now have radiation dermatitis, but then my skin has always been sensitive.
@arpie, you are so right about the gown-I like mine front opening so am always careful, but had a laugh with another patient the other day when his front opening gown slipped-Definitely showing a bit much leg he said!!
Bring on next Wednesday for me and all the best for your treatment.
