I have had a call from my Hospital today to tell me i have an appointment on Friday to start my radiotherapy treatment. I was so relieved that something is actually going to happen. Im told there is a lot of preparation first. I just hope the next 6 weeks will be enough to zap this horrid thing away from me................not looking forward to the side effects though..........are they really as bad as they say? Take good care everyone X
Sorry you have had to join us but welcome to the site. I haven't had the same cancer but I do know another member on this site who has and I'll send her a PM to ask her to contact you. I did have radiotherapy and there is some preparation involved. This includes measuring and marking points on the skin. I have tiny tattoos on three sites on my chest (they didn't do roses or 'I Love Elvis'!)
Just a tip which might help you get a better response to your blogs - give them a longer title which better explains the content.
everyone is different in how they react to radio - but make sure you use loads of aqueous cream as this offers a bit of protection. The radiographers will look after you and if you have any problems they will be able to advise or refer you to the doctors.
