Feeling emotional during radiotherapy

Hi all, 

I'm having radiotherapy this week and I am really surprised at how emotional it is making me feel. 

I know that it is a good thing and that I am really lucky to live where I live and be able to access this amazing ' belt and braces' treatment, however, I keep nearly crying during the treatment and feel very emotional before and afterwards. 

So far my boob seems to be coping well, it's a bit red but nothing terrible. Despite this, putting the moisturiser on is making me feel very sad about it and the hard time it has had.

None of this feels like an overly rational response and so I wondered has anyone else felt any of this during radiotherapy?
