Is it normal??? I feel really sick in my tummy, headache, quite tearful, I don’t know why… I did not think that the side effects would be so quick. Maybe my body is really tired of so many chemos, surgery, etc.
Let me know if anyone down here felt the same on their first session.
Thanks xxx
I didn’t have any bad reactions during radiotherapy, but then I didn’t have chemotherapy first. As I understand it most bad reactions are left over and ongoing from the chemo and not from the rads. My radiologists told me that some people do get “upset” about the idea of radiotherapy and develop all sorts of strange symptoms which do go away as they “relax into it!” Hope you feel better soon.
I felt awful during rads. Very nauseous after some doses. It went off after about an hour - try to drink a lot of water - it really helps.
People said ridiculous things to me like “Oh it is all the travelling that is making you feel unwell” or “It is lying down making you feel queasy”. Nothing to do with the large amounts of radiation they were pumping into me then!
Rads is a relief after chemo - but it’s no walk in the park. Good thing is that you get it over and done with relatively quickly.
Good luck.
Yes this is what happened to me after three sessions
