small steps forward
Hi everyone, just a little hello as I’m joining you on this journey and now feel brave enough to say hello. I was diagnosed June 28th, following a random self check, two weeks before a planned 5 week...

Hi @Karen_A
I found the radiation not too bad (it was a breeze after chemo!).
The side effects I had were fatigue and a bit of skin burning (a bit like sunburn).
I had 25 fractions with a boost dose over 5 /6 weeks.
For the first few weeks I didn't feel anything at all. Then some fatigue.
The worst effects on my skin were about 1 week after I finished. It then went away and about weeks after I finished it was all gone... nothing to see here! I used moogoo and qv and qv intensive cream. It was all very manageable including the dibh breath holding.
I have started hormone therapy and it is manageable as well.... lots of hot flushes 😳
Best wishes for your treatment.
