Hi Margo, 

I saw that you are a bit worried about what people have said about radiotherapy so I have included some information we have about it on our website here. Hopefully other members who have had radiotherapy for breast cancer will reply soon but I just wanted to give you our cancer nurses telephone number in case you wanted to chat to them about this next week. Their number is 0808 800 4040, which is free to call from a UK landline, and they are available Monday - Friday (except bank holidays) between 9a.m - 5p.m.

All the best, 

Steph, Cancer Chat Moderator

I guess it all depends where your cancer is. I had tonsil cancer and had 6 weeks radiotherapy    I had to have an immobilisation mask literally clipping myself to the table so I couldn't move. That was the worst. My mum had lung and had radio too. She found the worst thing was the tattoo. 

I had breast cancer. The cancer has been 100% removed, I've to have radiotherapy as I finally treatment. But I've been told it's sore and uncomfortable when washing and that you feel sick and exhausted during and afterwards.
