Hi @Joarden,
Aside from your travel issues (I too was fortunate to only be 25mins from the hospital) I had very few SE's from the radiation. I had 30 rounds and my skin only started to break down after about number 22. Compared to chemo it was a walk in the park. No fatigue at all and the hospital was very obliging working the appointments around my work. It's pretty quick normally. The machine broke down twice as well :)
It's an absolute pain in the ass having to go every day and in your case even harder. Definitely see if you can get any funding from some source.
All the best lovely. xoxox
