Hi there
Do you know why you are stressing?
Are you worried about radiotherapy?
I used to be a radiotherapy radiographer so I can help you regarding radiotherapy if you have any questions
There is usually a gap between surgery and radiotherapy to allow you to heal as radiotherapy can slow down healing.
At your oncology appointment the oncologist will discuss your plan going forward and go through the benefits and risks of any treatment offered and obtain your consent to proceed to the next step.
I think once you have a plan of action going forward you will feel better.
Happy to help if you have any questions
take care
Thank you so much for your reply, at the moment all I know is that I will have hormone medication, as to whether I have chemo or radiotherapy im in the dark ( I know it will be one or the other) I think its the not knowing that is doing my head in x
Yes we’ve all been there and the waiting and not knowing is the worst part.
Try and relax, have a few treats and don’t google too much.
This forum is a good place for support and to get questions answered .
Take care
