Hi all
Can anyone give me a brief idea how I might feel throughout 15 sessions of Radiotherapy over a three week period. I know my skin might feel irritated but just how debilitating is the fatigue I have heard of? My rads are not due to start until April (I still have two chemos to go - 9.3.09 and 30.3.09. Any replies welcome.
Thanx

i not long finished 15 sessions its fine, you just slap lots of cream on day and night and wash with the acqueos cream to prevent sore skin if you have fair skin. The journey to hospital every day is more tiring than the treatment, it goes very quickly believe me, its a doddle compared to chemo - happy healing darling xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Ive had rads twice and my advice would be drink lots of water. I also found it helpful to use a visualization technique as the machine was doing its stuff!! I used to imagine myself somewhere else and found it helped keep me calm and peaceful.
Be kind to yourself
love suze xx
ps the cream is quite greasy so I used to wear old tops...lose fittinf if possible!
