Hi Big hugs to you xx Feeling emotional, anxious & depressed are all normal feelings I’m sure all women will n this site have gone through & may continue to do so. I had same op as you, on 12/3. My planning app 1/5 with Radiotherapy starting around 23/5. I feel as if it’s taking over my life & I can’t plan things. I want the radiotherapy asap, then I can try move on with my life. The thing that messes with my head is the positive lymph node they found (1 out of 5)- I have been told I had a small slow growing cancer - and only need Radiotherapy & Tamoxifen. It’s at the back of my mind a lot- that it had spread, but we have to trust that our breast surgeon and Oncologist plan for our best outcomes. I was so scared of of the thought of chemo, but feel lucky it’s just Radiotherapy (never thought I could say just- but it’s so much easier than the alternative). Reading on this site a lot of women seem to sail through Radiotherapy, saying it’s the trips to & from the hospital for several weeks that is the hardest, not the treatment itself. I have bought some Aveeno moisturising cream and Aloe Vera gel in preparation, as some of the ladies on here have said it helps. It sounds like we will be both having Radiotherapy at the same time, message me any time if you want to chat xx
