what does all this mean
Hi everyone Probably like you all, never in a million years did I think I would hear the “c” word yet here I am! Such a scary place. I had a lumpectomy last week and removal of sentinel lymph node...

Great that you don't need chemo @HunnyB (same as me.). I had mine in a public hospital too & they were all just terrific.
I hope you find the radiation treatments as 'doable' as I did - Just make sure you lather up with lotion at least 3 times a day (but not BEFORE your treatment.) Also, if you notice any blisters or feel any discomfort, make sure you tell them when you go for your next treatment. They will asses you a few times during the treatment too.
Some people feel quite tired/exhausted as a side effect - I never really had tho, tho I WAS quite emotional on my last treatment, as they had become my 'daily support team' & I had become quite reliant on them.
take care & all the best xx
