Hi,
I’m about to start a course of five radiotherapy sessions to my right breast in about a month. Has anyone been through something similar and able to share their experience or any tips?
I would especially appreciate hearing about how your skin reacted (e.g. redness, dryness, tightening), how long side effects lasted, and anything that helped with recovery or comfort during treatment.
A few other questions I have:

Did you feel tired during or after the treatment?
When did side effects start to appear?
Were you given any creams or products that helped with skin care?
Could you continue your normal daily activities/work?
Is there anything you wish you had known beforehand?

Thank you in advance for sharing your experiences Yellow heart
