Hi, I had chemo, surgery and today finished radiotherapy. Im on exemestane daily and zoladex injections every 12 weeks. Been taking exemestane for approx 2 months now and no major side affects really to report. I do have some hip pain but I have a dodgy hip anyway so not sure if the medication is contributing to that or not. Being thrown into menopause is causing hot sweats, especially at night. My mood is a little up and down but again not sure what's contributing to that, the medications, the cancer 'journey' or a mix of both.

I had 10 sessions of radiotherapy,  the staff at my hospital were lovely, the process itself is a breeze compared to chemo. My skin is a little tender and red but manageable with keep applying moisturiser, I use Aveeno.

Hope this helps  you.

Hi Gizmo82,

Thanks for replying. My treatment is similar to yours just that I had chemotherapy after surgery.

I will be having 5 sessions of radiotherapy starting this Wednesday. Did you had any other side effects from radiotherapy other than skin tenderness at all ?
