Newly Diagnosed

Hi@Romla, Glad your doing okay. Thanks again for the information gives me heads up. Take care of you .

Hi @ShazS forgot had weekly meetings with radiotherapy oncologist and breast care nurse to monitor my progress and answer any questions I had. At my centre appointment times varied from day to day to ensure everyone had a. chance to avoid peak hour.They should give you heaps of reading material to read at home about treatment. All the best xo PS Am doing ok

Hi @Romla, How are you going ? Thanks for all the tips ect . Will keep all in mind when I start radiotherapy . Shaz

Hi @ShazS I had 16 rounds LHS radiotherapy in May - worst thing at the time was constant travel and trying to find a park.Aboutweek after it ended was enveloped in tiredness and needed some naps. I creamed up 3 times a day for 3 months with Dermaveen - my skin is very fair and was surprised it held up well. In July went to Cairns however and felt I needed to be careful with UV so wore a LS rashie and did not do all day trips to the reef/ Fitzroy island. Other than the mess creaming up made to my tops/ bras was all ok.Visits were quick once I was positioned correctly , staff were great - longest appointment was the planning at the start.

Hi @melclarity 
Hope so, I am unable to take most antibiotics as I react to them.  I am anaphylactic to most of them which is a bugger.

Hi @Shann 

I think it's just a coincidence to be honest. Have you see the GP and got antibiotics? 

Hi all just a query and it might be just a coincidence but since my core biopsy I have been sick........ I now have a chest infection, skin infection and a UTI.  It also might be that my body is fighting one manger infection and hasen't got anything left for the other minor things.

Hi I am yet to have surgery the radiotherapy was just curious to what lays ahead . Sharynx

If you have any specific questions on radiotherapy, I can try and answer them
