Hi Slightlylopsided, all the best with your radiation treatment and dont stress yourself out to much as it will be over before you know it. I had the normal 5 days by 5 weeks sessions of radiation in Nov/Dec last year. The only suggestion i can pass on to you is make sure you use cream and heaps of it, and if you do start to burn or blister make sure you get straight onto the nurses to get the correct cream. Also rest as it all starts to catch up to you and the energy level drops quite dramatically. It took me quite a few weeks to get back to normal. It can really take so much out of you.
During my journey i read John Boyages book "taking control" which was brilliant. I highly recommend this book to anyone travelling on this journey. He is a very smart man.
Good luck with everything , cheers Jo xx
