I am about to start 5 sessions of radiotherapy lasting one week. This is for breast cancer which was under my left breast and in the right quadrant. I did not finish my chemotherapy as docetaxel put me in hospital for over three weeks with a very severe reaction. Having been fairly positive about my treatment until docetaxel I feel scared now because of where the cancer was and the effect of radiotherphy on my heart and lung. The consultant said that the sessions should not cause a problem and that many people work throughout this part of their treatment. When I went to the hospital the radiographer said that I will be extremely tired afterward and should not plan to do anything for about 4 weeks. I do not know who is giving me correct information. So if there is anyone else who has had five sessions of radiotheraphy I would really like to know what their experience was like. (I know we are all different but it would be good to hear other people's experiences.). Alos has anyone had a cancer removed from a similar position and did it cause a problem? Thank you (Sorry this post is so long.)
