Hi, I have recently been diagnosed as they found a tumour in my abdo. ive been recieveing radiotherapy 5 times a week for the past 12 weeks. As they found it early, the radio is a curative method, however they have said to be they want to change my course and give me another cycle of radio, giving me a week off and have radio for another 12 weeks. although i trust my doctors and whatever they think is best i will do, but all the research i done when i was first diagnosed said that radiotherapy lasts up to 12 weeks and teh longer it goes on for the higher the risk of long- term complications. i have tried to find out aboit how 6 months of radio would effect me but i can't fond anything on the internet, 6 months seems so long and everything i have read says radio lasts upto 10 weeks so i why would they reccomend such a long course. my next appointment is next week so i guess i will ask then but i wondered if anyone has had a similar experience or has had radiotherapy for a long time and would be willing to share how it affected you.
