Hi, I had left WLE and SNB. I am on day 6 of 15 radiotherapies (just a bit pink and achy at the moment) have already had 7 weeks off work and have a sick note covering another 7. The hospital is a 60+ mile round trip. I drive 10 miles, catch a charity bus to the hospital, have treatment for 10 minutes, wait for bus, then drive myself home again. I am out of the house more than 5 hours each day, so there is no way I could work. I have a very heavy job so I would not be fit to do it anyway as I can still only manage to lift the kettle. Hope your hospital is much nearer. Good luck x
Hi Daisyboo
You seem to have quite a journey to get your treatment, my husband does the driving which is great as I find the journey quite tiring, in all there and back takes nearly two and a half hours. I was signed off for 4 weeks after my op in February and now work 5 hours every day, finishing at 1, the doctor signing me off under amended hours working.
I have noticed the last couple of days my skin in pinking up and getting quite sensitive, especially where the seabelt touches, all to be expected though.
Have a good weekend
