Hi ac, great you have a plan and onc was so positive. Some find chemo harder than others so try not to stress to much, be kind to yourself, and tell your treatment team of any symptoms when they occur, they can usually be managed very well. I had a different chemo regime to you but I did have the 25 radiotherapy fractions to the same area you describe. I was able to call the nurse at any time if I had questions and the staff kept a very close eye on my skin. For me radiotherapy was easier than chemo but see how you feel. Just take it day by day, see how you feel and ask for help if you need it. You will come up with lots of questions as you process this and we are always here to help so well done for reaching out! So many of us have been where you are, or are even going through the same or similar things with you. With all my treatments, it helped me to think that the benefits always outweigh the risks or they wouldn't do it. Best wishes to you, Kate
