Thanks @Abbydog
I'll be doing rads publicly - thankfully - as going private for my diagnosis and surgery has been expensive, but I"m incredibly grateful and lucky to be able to have gone that way, with surgery happening so quickly. I have chronic anxiety so the waiting is the worst for me.
My rad onc has suggested Strata XRT instead of Mepitel. It's a gel that apparently does the same thing but is easier to use (applied twice a day).
I also have a consult next week at the Menopause Clinic at RNS hospital. I'm keen to see what they can offer in terms of side effects once I'm on Zoladex and the other combination of endocrine therapy.
My measure up / CT is Thursday, then rads will begin a couple of weeks after that.
More waiting, but this time i'm hoping it will be easier to handle as I know what's at the end of it.
Appreciate your comment - thanks Abbydog,
