Hi ShelyT,ive just read your post about Radiotherapy that your undergoing now ,as you posted it quitw a feq weeks ago. I do hope that like me ,when i first had my first dose ( i had 3 weeka =15) i was surprised to find it was better than id imagined ir to be, i didnt feel any discomfort. By the 8/9th i did get a bit od sore red skin,bur only like mils.sunburn . I was told to use E45 cream on thw effected skin,whuch really helped. I did get a but tired from tine to time,but it was ni way near what id imaguned ir to be like,,it wasnt half as bad as i thought oh and i forgir to say about the tattoes that they want you to have,to make it easier to line you up each time yoy have the Radiotherapy,i disnr wanr them ,but i agreed to have just one which was placed at the side if my right underarm,so it isnt noticible,indidnt want those tiny dot tattoes as a permanent reminder. They hust used a oen and tape,on my skin where they were going to place the other tattoes. I do hopw you are doing well ,ans like me,you didnt find it as bad as you had imagined ir to be
