Hurray Nuthatch! I’m on 15 tomorrow but then 8 boosters, so definitely on the slope to the end...... Need to have a celebration too, I’ll start dropping (not) subtle hints to my hubby! Best wishes

Hi Nuthatch, I’ve done 11 now, having 15 plus 8 boosters, so it will be another couple of weeks yet. Really having to psych myself up to go out to the hospital. Been to speak to the Macmillan volunteers today and going to try one of the free therapies (reiki, reflexology, etc) as a ‘treat’. My underarm scar area sore today too. Hey, ho! We’ll get there..... xx

Hi, Thanks for asking. I’ve had 10 now Day off today as machine being serviced. Back tomorrow. I’ve been lying low as picked up flu just after Xmas so really struggling with energy levels. Feeling a bit better each day though. Yes, feeling very tender and red now, slapping the moisturiser on! How are you?? Best wishes xx

Yes, Day 3 done too. After 2 days with over hour delay, today was straight in on time. Unfortunately, I’ve picked up a stinky head cold (prob from 9 yr old) so bit shivery / achy tonight. Just about to go up to bed early! Good job there are 3 days until my next one on Tuesday. Best wishes Sharon

Hi Nuthatch and I Don’t Believe It, Just got home after long day. Got to hospital 30 mins early but didn’t go in until nearly 1 1/2 hours after appointment time - dept running late! So lunch was 4pm! Treatment fine - agree the hands suffered most from being over head so long, but it is shorter in next treatments apparently. We are calling it Zap treatment too, to explain to our 9yr old - she’s done me a countdown chart to cross the numbers off, so number 1 is now ticked. Taking book and my crochet project tomorrow in case I am sitting around again. Best wishes Sharon

Oh my, you’ve been through so much. I feel like I got of lightly, if there is such a thing with having cancer. Random selection for mammogram in August (I’m under 50) which picked it up. I hadn’t noticed small lump (until I went looking for it after letter to attend hospital). Surgery late September so feels like long gap to start Radiotherapy. On Tamoxifen (for now - I insisted to consultant I was still premenopausal!) so been a bit weepy at times recently. Good luck with yours later, best wishes Sharon

Thank you for the replies already. January is looming but each week done is milestone. I’m due in for early afternoon, so have planned lunch out after with hubby, mum (in residence for few days!) and 9yr old daughter, then Panto later. I’ll take some moisturiser with me - thanks Helena. I’ve bought Aveena, E45 and Aloe Vera gel. Hospital prescribed ZeroAQS but i can’t bear the smell and the thought of having to use this for weeks was one of my low moments (silly really, but even my daughter noticed smell and didn’t want to cuddle). Here we go... !

Hello I’m a newbie to the forum. I’ve been lurking and reading your posts, and I’m in awe of you all. I am due to have my first radiotherapy later today - to have 22 altogether (15 plus boost). I thought I was ok, ‘just the radiotherapy to go’ after surgery (WLE/ Sentinel node removal) but now it’s here I’m feeling more apprehensive. Not so much the treatment itself, but how long it will go on for and the potential impact of it all. I’ve taken the top tips from you all - keep hydrated, rest when needed, and moisturise, moisturise, moisturise! Thought it would be finished already and I'd be back at work mid January but that is not happening. This forum is a great support - thank you all. Sharon
