At least you get to enjoy Christmas Nikki, hope I am the same. Haven't started tamoxifen yet, , something is holding me back, cancer nurse told me there is no rush, take them when I am ready.

Nikki I thought I was bad getting 19 rads, most women get 15, did they say why you get extra. If its the same C.T scan I have had before its like a donut, its the only way I can describe it, nothing to it, its the fear of the unknown.

Hi Nikki, we will definitely be going through rads together, just a pity you are in the south and I am in Scotland. Thankfully I read your message about taking tamoxifen at night, so I am just about to take it with trepidation! ! Let me know how you get on tomorrow. Hopefully you only need 15 sessions.

Ps, to the creams debate, I saw on one message on rads someone recommend using a cream with Manuka honey, I have ordered it on the net from Amazon, so cheap, its only 3.50.manuka has great healing properties, mentioned it to oncologist and she ok it for rad burns.

Thank you Eileen, your message has really cheered me up as I have been so scared and anxious about this, I was only diagnosed 3wks ago and had surgery over a week ago, it is all so quick, I haven't had time to digest a lot of what I was told but all your messages today has helped and I may be able to sleep tonight! Like you Eileen I look after my grandaughter who lives next door and need to get well for her.I hope you continue to keep well.

Thank you Gill for replying so quickly, I only joined the forum this morning, so amazed I had 2 replys already. I had my surgey on the 16th, how long after seeing oncologist did you start radiotherapy? Do you also use the volunteer drivers from C.C? Sorry for all the questions, I was only told yesterday what was going to happen and you don't take it all in. I wish I was at your stage in treatment, can I also ask if you will be receiving any Tamoxifen as I have to take this too for 5yrs.

Thank you so much for replying quickly, I only joined the forum this morning after speaking to A cancer care nurse, I don't know about you but I felt so alone in all this and have to realise sooo many women are dealing with this too. I wish you well and thanks again.
