Living with cancer Marking up for breast radiotherapy

Marking up for breast radiotherapy

Offline Plb over 5 years ago

Well did anyone else find this experience quite chsllenging

i feel quite emotional tonight after going through this procedure ready for treatment starting next week

i am not sure why it has affected me so much

i think maybe being at the hospital and seeing so many patients may be part of it

it isn't helpful that you cannot have anyone with you at the hospital - although this is understandable

Hope all goes well tomorrow for your first session
I found the treatment easier than the marking up!

Ahh bless you - thank you. I was going to ask how you'd got on - last session today? Have you had any skin reactions? How is the tiredness?
im as ready as can be for tomorrow. Feeling a little nervous but I think that's just the unknown. Have to admit not looking forward to 4 bloody weeks of travelling every day (it's over an hour each way for me to get to hospital). I'm just across the pennies from you ;)
off to lymphodema clinic this afternoon. Not overly concerned as not having any issues and cording has eased massively.
hopefully all over with soon. Are you going to do anything nice to celebrate finishing your treatment?
sending hugs xx
