Overseas visitors staying during radiation
I am new here so hello everyone. I have had a mastectomy and a week later had my lymph nodes removed. I start chemo on the 10th of sept for 16 weeks then soon after that I begin radiation for 5 week...
So there is an extended family? You are not the only person who can do this? I didn't have radiation but as it's often hard to know how you will react, it may be prudent to suggest that at least a back up plan is a good idea! You've had surgery, starting chemo, adjusting to being mono-boobed and are having radiation - methinks you are rather busy, not to mention a little preoccupied. The effects of chemo sadly do not always end immediately you stop active treatment. Spending time with visitors may do you the world of good if you are up to it, but what if you are not? Time to put yourself first perhaps? Best wishes.
