Firstly, thank you for reading my post and for the support and thoughts I know are felt through this laptop...
Secondly, I would like some feedback on experiences with radiation. I am on day 3 and my breast has pains in it and I occasionally get a wave of nausea which subsides pretty quick. Any experiences shared would be read with interest..
kindest, Kerin
i think they underestimate the side effects
however i had a funny 'electric shock ' on around the 3rd day but it didnt happen again
i would over do self care during radiation and i had two weeks off work later on which was useful in all sorts of ways
general nurses attached to radiation unit were useful to talk through or address any concerns; tiredness does come and then goes quickly if youhave a break or weekend..and i did get red and skin breakages but healing was quick and painless too in my case...
maybe experiment if better to have treatment in am or pm
best wishes

Thanks Ronnie,
I have woken today feeling nauseous and was very tired... I also have had some headaches. I meet with the Doc today so will discuss this. I find it interesting that the Doc says there are not really any side effects - he went through the big side effects but said will only probably get a little bit tired.
Thanks for your feedback
