Hi, I start 3 booster sessions today after 5 normal sessions of radio. Will this cause soreness? At the moment I’m ok just a bit tired and emotional slathering myself in e45 cream twice a day. Drinking 2 litres of water and eating loads. I’m exercising too. I’m hoping to start going back to work…..
Hi Jillyflower
I developed a slightly itchy rash while having my booster sessions but that was quickly brought under control with antihistamine tablets and hydrocortisone cream prescribed by the radiotherapy nurse.
