Hi,

I am due to start the first of my 37 radiotherapy sessions in January & appreciate most of you on here will be well in front of me treatment wise.

So, all I'm asking is for any top tips you might have for dealing with the radiotherapy sessions.

Anything from bring a good book while you wait to things to avoid eating, I'm all ears

Many thanks in advance

Hi Dave

Others have said it, but I can't over emphasise, the importance of following any diet sheet the RT team offer you. I would also encourage you, to ask for one if they don't. Follow it religiously, even if you are not getting any bowel side effects - I didn't, it wasn't funny and it was the only problem I experienced.
