Radiotherapy......help!

Sallyk

I'm in the process of 10 sessions of radiotherapy to the base of my skull for secondary breast cancer in the bone.  I've had headache since January and this was how it was discovered (primary breast cancer also at the same time)!  As I'm new to this I wondered what others experiences were regarding the pain relief after/during radiotherapy as I still have the headache 8 sessions in.  Does the pain start to get better after the treatment????

    Hello Sallyk,

    I noticed your message hadn't yet received a response so I thought I would bump it back to the top of the list. Hopefully someone with a similar experience will pick up your post and respond to you soon.

    Don't hesitate too to ring our nurses' helpline on 0808 800 4040 (it's a free number!). You can call them Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm.

    I hope you are feeling better and are having fewer headaches.

    Best wishes,
