Hi all
I got scanned and tattooed yesterday for my radiotherapy 'zap' on Friday
They are only zapping one area in my right hip to try to help with the pain
I've read about side effects from radiotherapy but these all seem to deal with side effects from multiple sessions.
This is a one off
Any advice is appreciated
Regards
Martin
Hello Martin Slartibartfast
My advice - lay back - enjoy your time on the "sunbed" and I hope the Radiotherapy works for you.
There are risks withe everything, crossing the road, etc, etc - I can't see one session giving you any issues. I am 18 months post 20 sessions and feel amazing - you will be fine.
Best wishes - Brian.

Thanks.
This is new to me so I don't know what to expect.
I aways thought if I ever got a tattoo it would be more interesting than 3 dots ;-)
Hello Martin (Slartibartfast )
I don't like tattoo's and said I would NEVER have one - now I have 3 , all in a good cause though.

Mal, is it crazy in Memphis? Election fever???
I'm glad Trump won. He might have some wacky ideas but I think he was the better person in the end.
I had a rash once I started on my Radiotherapy. I was given Flamigel. Think it's a bit early for you though.
When you start your Radiotherapy ask for some Flamigel. Very soothing.
Hope it goes smoothly for you.
