Radiation treatment query
Hello,
I have found reading others posts so very helpful and I would like to ask a question.
I started radiation today after two lots of surgery (no chemo needed, thank goodness) but feel a bit over...

I really only got tired about halfway through radiation.I actually took time off work so I didn't have to worry.Perhaps you could negotiate with your boss.Some ladies worked reduced hours after the halfway mark but I guess it depends on your job. I have fair skin but it never blistered or broke down,just got very red.As soon as I was zapped,I would apply Aloe Vera gel over my boob and then a soft hankie to protect clothes. That night I would soak in a warm salt bath,pat my boob dry and apply vit E cream.The staff are great and will advise you on creams/medications.The redness is like bad sunburn.When you have finished radiation,it will still keep working for a further 2 weeks so you may not improve till after that.However,we all react differently to treatments and you may sail through it with no problems.Hope it is getting easier for you.
