Radiotherapy

Hi,

My mum is currently recieving radiotherapy, firstly your husband will have a scan to give them precise location of the tumour then they will put some markers on his chest (which last a few months) so they can line him up on a machine that looks a bit like a large gun off a bond film. Then each day he will receive approx 20 mins of treatment that will just feel like a scan.

He may experience some discomfort after a week or so but really that's just the treatment doing its job I suppose you have to think. My mum has to go every weekday for 20 mins a day for 5 weeks so please be prepared for the appointments. Hope this helps a bit, and hope it goes well for your husband.

Regards

Chris 

Thank you

Hi Alg1957

Sorry to read the new about your husband, can you confirm whether he will be receiving Radiotherapy or Chemotherapy? 

If your husband is going to undergo Chemotherapy please feel free to take a look at our blog
