Hi,

I have 2 EC cycles left, and radiotherapy is being now discussed.

I just wanted to hear some of your stories please, how did your radiotherapy go, is it scary, are there side effects? Skin problems? How many did you have, I'm being prescribed 15 sessions.

Also, has anyone had lung or heart scar damage.  I'm starting to get worried about this now. Still have 2 ECs to get through, which I am not looking forward to at all. I just wish it was all over now!

Thank you

  • Hi. I had my 5 sessions of RT, finishing almost 5 weeks ago. They were fine, quick and painless, but felt very tired towards the last one and  for about 2-3 weeks aftwrwards  but it has improved greatly.  I have worked throughout. I have used the flamogel supplied at the hospital, and organic aloe vera since, applying it religiously 3 times per day. No problems at all with my skin until a few days ago, and have a slight burn mark under my arm.  It hasn't broken out if anything, just a bit red-so I am taking extra care to apply gel and cream.

    Hope all goes well for you x
