Finished radiation treatment today
I finish my radiation treatment today! I am both excited and apprehensive. For the last month it has been a constant and I know this may sound weird but I felt like this was helping me feel comforted ...
Totally get where you are coming from.
I had a whirlwind of diagnosis, scans to rule out metastasis , mastectomy ( after initially discussing a lumpectomy) followed by radiotherapy.
I was grateful that there was no cancer in my lymph nodes so chemo not recommended , but radiotherapy nevertheless 28 days for me.
When it was finished, it was “ what now”?
I had been on a treadmill and now it had stopped.
It’s completely normal to have an emotional reaction at that point.
I dealt with it by seeing a dietitian and exercise physiologist as well as having acupuncture and cancer massage.
I am looking forward rather than back but it’s good to know that the ladies on this forum are here for support when you need it.
And presumably you are still under tha ongoing care of an oncologist so you are not being completely cast adrift.
