I was due to have my radiotherapy tomorrow had the telephone chat already then at 4.45pm phone call oncologist he was cancelling my radiotherapy as he cannot avoid the heart. I'm devasted can't stop crying. They had 2 weeks between initial planning scan and treatment but to let me know the day before is totally cruel and unforgivable.
It has made me totally depressed why bother I'm in pain from letrozole and I have lymphodema been positive but every step of this journey has been delays and cancellations absolutely sick of it all
Oh sorry to hear that but can you check to see if they can do the radiation with you facing down so your breasts fall down? They do that here in US if there are issues.
This link explains it.
Take care and maybe Macmillan nurses would know if it is available.
