Radiation treatment
Hi girls
I'm about 4 weeks into my radiation treatment; 2 weeks to go. The skin is starting to be affected now, quite red, sore and itchy.
I resent that I still have to work through this most traumatic period in my life (and its affecting me psychologically). I have income protection insurance but it seems that I'm still not sick enough to receive it (in an office job so can still sit on my bum all day; apparently). Its almost laughable that I got this insurance about 5 years ago because I thought I'd probably get breast cancer one day but what a croc, I still can't claim for it. And you have to not be working for 4 weeks before they'll pay out; well with no sick pay or holidays due, what the hell are you supposed to live on during this period?
It just sucks some times :-(
