Hi Dona,
You will get all the instructions on what to eat and when to eat it the same with the cream.Once you start your treatment.
I should know I went through 36 treatments 12 yrs ago. You will find it ok to start and as things start moving along you will start feeling tired and sore around the areaof R/T but you will cope. All the best and Good Luck.
I'm starting my RT on 10th august am having 23 blasts, so will keep you posted, when do you start yours? Sarsfield is right you should have a meeting before your first blast giving you lots of useful information, mine is half and hour before my first RT. Good luck with your treatment,
thanks guys...it'snot me its my partner...an he started a week ago..he's having 32 sessions...every day for 6 weeks...on Fridays session they told him to avoid eating spicy food...so we havent really got all that type of information yet...
thanks to you both for your replies...I'll let you no how things go...
Hi dona1, your partner needs to avoid using anything smelly to wash with - sanex or simple bath wash are okay. Put plenty of E45 on every day, as many times as he wants if necessary and keep clothing loose. I used to leave my bra off - I only had one anyway and keep cotton loose blouses to hand as they were easy to get off/on. No-one noticed as it was winter and a big coat/scarf sorted out the inbalance. Also drink lots of water and, yes, spicy food would be best avoided. Apart from that, as long as your partner eats well i.e. lots of fruit,veg, balanced foods he'll be fine. He may be quite tired so his diet is important. Good luck, keep well Ann xx
