Finished chemotherapy five weeks ago and started radiotherapy this week. Was told would be only three weeks, now extended to nearly four with booster doses. Will understand more when see oncologist tomorrow. I thought radiotherapy would be easy (!) after chemo but first session felt a bit stressed, then yesterday felt like I was going to have a panic attack on the bed. Started thinking about how important it is not to move and immediately wanted to get off the bed and couldn't get the thought out of my head. Now getting palpitations just thinking about treatment and am worried how I will get through. Was suggested I take low dose tranquilliser beforehand. Has anybody else experienced this situation? Wondering why I feel like this when most people have said radiotherapy piece of cake after chemo. Would be really grateful for advice.
