Hello all
i have just finished the 5 day Fast Forward strong version of radiotherapy at the Royal Marsden. I also have Multiple Sclerosis. Sadly I have experienced horrendous aide effects as well as the debilitating lethargy. Has anyone else experienced migraines and/ or sickness after this type of radiotherapy. Doctors think I’ve had an unusual hormonal reaction!
Thank you in advance x
Hi
I don't have any experience with radiotherapy so I hope you don't mind me suggesting that you also post this in the breast cancer group as they have a dedicated radiotherapy thread. If you'd like to post there as well as here, clicking on the link I've created will take you straight there.
Wishing you all the best

Hi Rachel, I had the five day Fast Forward at Southampton Hospital. I have not really had any problems except one day last week I was exceptionally tired (a week after treatment) and I have also had a little numbness and itching where I was treated. I think you have been very unlucky. Do you think you could have possibly picked up a bug? I hope all clears up and everything works out well for you.
