Hi Neen
I too was diagnosed in February and have had surgery but am waiting on a re-excision in May (one margin not clear) before any radiation. It is like that isn't it - that feeling that this is all somehow happening to someone else. Did you find you spent a lot of your time reassuring others? My extended family was devasatated even though I kept saying "This will not kill me - this has a very good prognosis". I have adult children - one is very concerned and the other is happy to be told it will all be alright:)
Good luck with your radiotherapy - there are lots of hints for skin care in other posts and in the literature we get. I have heard different stories about fatigue - some people said they got tired and others didn't. One thing I have learnt is that what it is for you is what it is - no matter how others have experienced it. I am learning to accept that things do not always go as expected and on time, but nevertheless we are incredibly well supported and every day is a further step forward. Cheers Karen
