Evening everyone. I have just began my radiotherapy treatment, I am on day 2 of 25 then will be having my surgery 6weeks after the last session. I am just wondering how others have dealt with side effects. I have sarcoma on my knee, and although I am only on day 2 I already have increased pain in the area and my knee gave way when I got out of the car following today's appointment. I will of course mention this to my nurses, but has anyone experienced similar this early on during treatment please. Sending love to everyone on their own journeys 

  • Hi  

    That sounds really difficult, not something we ever experienced but in the past I have had occasional issues with nerves getting pinched and causing various limbs to go numb - that can be really quite worrying in its own right of course.

    Hope the nurses can help with your appointment today.

    <<hugs>>
