Hello all,

so it looks like radiotherapy for me to stop it growing . Anyone had experience of radiotherapy ?

Thst can tell me side effects time off work etc.

Welcome to our forum Pipsqueak22 although I'm sorry for the reason that brings you here.
As you asked about radiotherapy, there is some information on our website you might want to check, if you find a moment, to read more please click here.
We have many forum members who are going through or underwent radiotherapy so I hope some of them will be stopping by very soon to share their experiences with you.
Also, if you wish to speak to someone medically trained over the phone, please know that our cancer nurses are just a phone call away and you can reach them by ringing this phone number: 0808 800 4040, Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Wishing you all the best,
Renata, Cancer Chat Moderator
