Radiation Planning

Hi Ladies, I haven't posted for two weeks and have since found out I am HER2 - and ER + so it's onto the radiotherapy and then Tamoxifen. I found I was feeling really quite bright up to a week ago and have been a bit teary and very tired if I spend the day out. I wondered if it's because your body goes into auto pilot with shock of finding out you have cancer and now the reality has set in even thought the outlook once treatment is completed is very good. Did anyone else find this? Yesterday we headed back to the city for our visit with the Radiation Oncologist and found I have to have 30 treatments over a 6 week period. First five weeks to the whole breast area and then 1 week of boost dose to the lumpectomy site. Guessing this is how it's normally done. The new receptionist made a mistake and I was very lucky to be fitted in for the simulation after my appointment so we didn't have to make another trip down later in the week. I've been drawn, quartered, CT scanned and tattooed ready for the cooking pot in about 2 weeks! I have looked at other blogs regarding radiation treatment and a lot of you mention Moo goo being very good. Calendula cream was recommended by the radiation therapist. Is one better than another? Off now to think about what I am going to do in the city while I have my treatment, guiltless time spent patch working and scrapbooking I think!
