Radio therapy

Hi MR121, it is normal to feel sore, tired and also sick on RT.  Make sure you tell them that this is how you are feeling - they can give you medicines to help with the sickness if you need.  Have just finished my 5 days and was told that the side effects could last and get worse over the next couple of weeks.  Although the course is short, my understanding is that you are getting a higher daily dose than you would if the course was over 15 days.  They say the side effects are normally less than they would be on the 15 days, but that doesn't mean you won't experience some.  Think we just have to be patient - am not good at that!

Hi

Try to drink lots of fluids  as this will help with your symptoms.

The radiotherapy keeps working after you finish with the maximum effects felt approx two weeks after finishing.

Hope you feel better soon x
