Practical hints and tips for dealing with radiotherapy

Hi I’ve sent you a friend request I hope I can help you.

I was diagnosed with Stage 2B vaginal cancer in December 2012.

Im still here to share my experience.

kind Regards ️

Hi Teaand,

We all react differently to the treatment, but her lady garden will become sore and very tender, I used flamazine after my treatment had finished, looking  back, I personally feel it would have advisable to use it at week 3 of my treatment, obviously after my radiotherapy session not before!

Buy one of those doughnut inflatable rings, sitting down can be a little (understatement!) uncomfortable.

Bowel movements will change too, it's I was put on a very low fiber diet, again we all react differently.

If she is having chemo, I would advise she drinks tons of water, it helps flush out you system

Most of all, just be there,. make sure they know they are loved and they have support. 

Hello, thank you for getting in touch. Yes, i remember the donut rings from my pregnancy.  Though this is a little different. 

I will pass on your advice. X

Kind regards

Hi Faye, Its harsh treatment, not just physically but mentally..if she is married, he needs needs to know that she will have very off days,..best thing he can do is tell her he loves her and be that shoulder to cry on..theres a Facebook group called cancer survivors and supporters, both of them would benefit from  joining, it's been a godsend for me x Shelley
