Hi I tried to reply to your other post re cream after radiotherapy but it wouldn’t let me. The hospital gave me zerobase moisturiser and it was great.
I had lumpectomy 4 July and had no problems , was driving 2 days later, did all my exercises and really had no pain. Didn’t use any of the painkillers the hospital gave me. Radiotherapy 1-5 then 8-11 September again no issues apart from fatigue. I’m now 6 months after radiotherapy and apart from having some swelling ( lymphodema, which isn’t sore just annoying) I have been really well.
Once everything starts you just kind of go with the flow, rest when you need to and when you don’t live life.
Hi mummy, first of all what you are feeling is completely normal. It's fine to be afraid, it's fine not to be able to sleep, it's fine to worry, this is your body's way of dealing with your situation. This is going to sound crazy but it worked for me . Embrace these feelings knowing that it's normal and ok. Don't fight them , let them flow like a river through you at out. Don't build a Dam and back it up. This is your journey/ diagnosis. And no one else's . If you feel like crying, cry. If you feel like laughing laugh. If feel like taking about it, talk and if you don't then don't. It's yours own it how ever you need. Sending you hugs, laughter, and cozy pillow to hug . Haha. Let us know how you get on as I will be thinking of you.
