Hi all
I have spindle cell sarcoma grade 2. Waiting to start radiotherapy. Can anyone tell me how you feel after radiotherapy ? . How will it impact my life, down for 6 weeks of treatment after operation to remove lump on shoulder.
Hi Unhappy
Welcome to our community, I hope you find it informative and supportive.
I am Steve one of the community champions and my experience with cancer is via my wife who has Leiomyosarcoma so a little bit different to you. Janice has never had radiotherapy so sorry I have no experience to share on that front but of course people are affected differently so it can be hard to say how you will feel. You might like to look at out Radiotherapy & Side Effects forum where this is perhaps a more common issue.
<<hugs>>
Steve
