Xo yiu have pictures taken 1st then silly question but how do they know exactly where the tumor bed was?!
Thanks for that I’ll let you know tomorrow!!
Good morning Ladies
One down - 14 to go!!!
Everything went OK yesterday and back today at 5:18pm. I’m drinking plenty of fluids and had 3 litres yesterday - just have to try and keep it up.
Hope everyone else is getting on OK.

Hi Fiona…did they recommend 3 litres to you a day ? Only asking as that’s quite a lot above recommended intake, which NHS states as 1.2 - 2 litres. I know that’s intake needed without additional requirements taken into account like heat and exercise…but just checking really as day after day that’s a lot.
1st booster was ok although after 16 blasts now im gooshed and red so red!!
Only a few pictures taken as Ct images were used i think they were from surgery as they showed me exactly where tgr tumor was!! I didn’t realise they took Ct image’s during surgery!!
It was a little different today in tems if treatment the didn’t have the cage thing on it only moved twice and i had five zaps in total tge also used 5ge sane beam as was used in regular rads x roll on next Tuesday i can’t wait to finally get finished
Well I would never have known i had it till today as the only Ct scan i thought i had was the planning one for rads i only got mammogram and ultrasound sound biopsy when it was diagnosed nevrr had a mri or anything it was quite strange seeing it it actually looked bigger than i thought it would
Apologies for my predictive text blunders ? buy I guess you know what I mean x
Thus is my final part had surgery chemo then these so i will be so happy next Tuesday its been going in since April if i include biopsy ?
Well then that’s me finished WLE re excision 15 rads and 5 boosters so relieved to be finished my skin is toast as half way through had a reaction to the aloe Vera.
Wishing everyone going through treatment the best of luck
Ruth xx
Sorry yes i dont think i have those markers! But im not having any boosters just 15 rad sessions. So will they just fry the whole boob??
I knew from my 2nd set of biopsies that I had a titanium marker in my breast, the consultant told me that they would be putting one in. xx
Thanks Helena glad it’s over exhausted going to have a lazy day doing nothing xx
Re clip they put mine in when they did the biopsy at my first appointment. So it was see consultant, mamo, then ultra sound put the clip in biopsy, another mamo and then saw the consultant again. This was all on my first appointment. I found the lump myself. Hope that helps xx
Hi Ladies
Was recommended 2-3 litres but will cut it back to 2 today and see how I go but I’ve usually drunk 2 litres by the time I leave work at 12:30.
Do they keep drawing on your boob during treatment as I feel like the tatooed lady at the moment lol???
x Fiona
??? ruth well done ringing the virtual bells for you xx
Anyone else get headaches towards tge end of the rads i have had a headache like migraine type of oain mostly on a night time for a few days now and wondered if it could be due to rads im really tured too xx
Hi Mishy thanks for the bells. Yes I have them to subside a little if you have some water. But don’t go completely. Tamoxifen can also give headaches if you are on that. Xx
COngratulations Ruth !!! Its an odd feeling in the week after you finish this intensive treatment bit, you kind of wonder ‘what now’?!
Fiona, ignore me, clearly they are the professionals and know that your requirements are higher than 2 litres…go with what the team suggested. :smileyvery-happy:
Yeah Jay thsts what they are like i probably not drinking enough too im nearly finished now 2nd booster today 3 more to go then thats it no hormone blockers or anything i feel relieved but also what now?! No scans or anything just the 5 year monitoring, after being in active treatment since May its been a long journey, i really don’t know what im going to feel like when i have last treatment i hope i don’t get too emotional at hospital it will be embarrassing ? did anyone else feel like that? My skin is really sore now under my armpit it is also painful under there too inside if that makes sense my boob is bright red although im still on boosters the team said the 2 weeks thing with skin has already started now so to keep on top of it
No 18 dine feeling quite good skin is cooing well as it goes i know its a bit sore but nothing too hardcore!!! Just a case of riding it out more tired now but i also think i have a bit of a sinus thing really bunged up and headache
