I can appreciate that you want to know more about breast cancer radiotherapy. When you do read the list of potential side effects it can seem daunting. But it is unlikely that anyone would get all the side effects listed but it is possible to get some. I would say that the treatment is well tolerated by most people and does not usually cause major side effects. That is especially true with how radiotherapy is given today.
If you want to know how the type of radiotherapy you are going to have affects other women, who are in a similar situation to yourself then do post on another part of the forum, you can see theses areas to the left of this page. Doing this is likely to have more people looking at your post and hopefully getting back to you. I think it is important to remember that what happens to someone else is not necessarily going to happen to you.
Please get back to us if you need any more information or support. You may find it helpful to talk things through with one of the nurses on our helpline. The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.
