    Hi Rosieamber,

    i am 3 weeks post rads. Well done for getting through them. I was told side effects actually peak 10-14 days after rads finished. 

    I was sore when I finished, it stayed sore but no worse then last week got a little worse. I was doing stuff and this seemed to make it worse. This week i have rested as much as possible and it feels better. 

    We are all different so you may not get this. I also feel more fatigue than usual. 

    Keep moisturising for at least two weeks, doing the exercises etc. Mine also got v itchy so i used hydrocortisone cream and antihistamines. I also found not letting the shower hit it directly helped. 

    Do hope you have a good recovery. 

    Yvonne xxx
