Radiotherapy not too bad?

Hi iv just finished 15 sessions of radiotherapy and out of my treatment I found the radiotherapy the easiest part, the driving back and fore everyday is a bit of a drag but the sessions are quick, I had a bit of tightness at the end but I moisturised regularly and was told my skin was realy good, I think it's going into the unknown is the scary part but once you do it once you will be fine, wishing you all the best and hope it all goes well 

Radio is a breeze compared to other treatments I had 5 days of 3minute sessions on left side and agree moisturise, moisturise is a very good idea and i too had tightness, you will also get a tiny tiny tattoo which  will be hard to see ,so that the machine can be set up just for you quickly. The sessions will be over so quick you will probably say _is that it are we done, kind regards 

it’s natural to have a fear of the unknown but once you have had the first one you will know what to expect.

The machine looks scary but it doesn’t touch you.You don’t feel anything or see anything when you have your treatment.

Take the advice of the radiographers and moisturise regularly, drink lots of fluids, and rest when you need to. Your skin will get pink like a sun tan and you may feel tired..

Most people find it the easiest part of the cancer pathway.

Good luck x
