Hi all!
I will start radiotherapy on 12/02 till 05/03. 15 sessions. I have been awake for 2 hours and it’s 5am.
Just a little anxious! After reading about side effects and long term ones.
I tell myself that not everybody reacts the same…
I have had a lumpectomy, 9 lymph nodes removed, a melanoma wide incision and 2 sentinelle nodes removed.
Now it is time for radiotherapy. I am more anxious for this than I have been for the previous surgeries. I have recovered very well.
What scares me the most it’s the fatigue…
Also which cream shall I use…. There seem to be quite a choise…I have been using Aveeno daily moisturising lotion for my breast and arm and I wonder if you can suggest something more specific for radiation treatment.
I also read that I could loose up to 10% of my weight! I am already quite slim and do not want to loose anymore!!!
Well, I had a cup of herbal tea and 1 egg on toast!
I hope to sleep for a couple of hours.
Hi Shelly4
They do want you to have healed completely before they start radiotherapy. I wonder if having lymph node involvements takes longer than someone who hasn't had this.
If you are having chemo. you will also have radiotherapy a few weeks after chemo. ending
Kindest Wishes, Lesley
