Radiotherapy

Hi Summer, I started my radiotherapy on Monday. I'm having 15 sessions. I've found it's been ok so far, the staff are kind and will answer my questions. I just got some pins and needles holding the bar for 15 minutes. It wasn't too cold in the room. They gave me a white piece of cloth to cover myself and although you were uncovered for a bit as they align you, they cover you up again when you get the treatment. 

I've had no pain and I'm moisturising afterwards. They prefer you don't put anything on your skin up to 2 hours before your RT treatment so it's soaked in. They say to drink water as that's good for the skin.

One practical tip is to bring a hoodie or dressing gown to wear once you've removed your top half of clothing in the changing room so you can quickly remove your layer in the treatment room.

 I hope it all goes well for you x

Thanks for supporting me with that

I hope you keep positively moving forward 

Hi there, good luck for tomorrow. I am starting mine too after 2 surgeries tomorrow and feeling a little nervous too ! Most people seem to be quite positive about it and it should be a breeze compared to other treatments hopefully  

Good luck to you too. I am sure we will both be thinking. Why were we nervous.  Sending lots of positive thoughts x
