  • I'm sorry about the side effects you've been experiencing since finishing your radiotherapy Gillian.

    It sounds like you're having quite a tough time at the moment but I hope it helps to know that things should start to improve for you soon, as you can see on our website. 

    I'm sure some of our members who have been on this journey will offer their support and advice to you soon but if you'd like to discuss any of this with one of our cancer nurses, they're available on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m, or if it's easier, you can make a post in their section of the forum just here.

    We're thinking of you Gillian and wishing you all the best with your recovery.

    Kind regards,
