Post Radiation Recovery
Just after some feedback: how long after ceasing radiation would you take off work if you have the option? In other words, how bad/how long does the most uncomfortable symptoms last? FYI I'm 6 treat...
Hi @Aska
Everyone is different.
I was 61 when I had 28 sessions of radiotherapy and luckily am semi retired so I took another 4 weeks off after I finished ( which was a quiet time anyway as I finished just before Xmas.
I used the strata xrt creme and my skin help up ok but I did get very fatigued during the last week and for a couple of weeks after .
Good luck with ur all and if you get any skin reactions advise the nurses straight away as there are topical creams that can be applied to assist.
