I am going for my histology results tomorrow. It has been indicated that I will need radio therapy as the cancerous tumour was too near my breast skin . I can’t understand why they sparred the skin when it may be affected. Could anyone give me their experiences of radio therapy please . I’m just wondering when all this is ever going to end ?
Hi Julesvic. There is a monthly group called February Radiotherapy. I found this really helpful looking back over chats in previous months they really do answer all your questions. I start radiotherapy tomorrow.
Hi I have started Radiotherapy on the 30th January and have only had 4 sessions so far. Everything is going ok and I feel ok. I have 4 weeks Radiotherapy to do and so finish at the end of this month.
I have also started the Tamoxifen but this again is early days and everything is ok except that I seem to have developed insomnia, I love my sleep and always sleep 8 hours! But I am not going to bed until 2.00 and still finding it difficult to get to sleep? Anybody else had similar? And do these side effects wear off? Or do they stay with you for the duration of the medication?
