Radiotherapy
I’ve just finished a 3 week course of
Radiotherapy
and I feel dreadful. I’ve been very sick and it feels like flu. I’m very tired and sleeping a lot. Complete loss of appetite. I didn’t find chemotherapy as bad as this. Has anyone else had this experience ?

I was offered
Radiotherapy
around nine months ago , but due to the possible side effects and my pre existing conditions , I can't make my mind up what to do.

radiotherapy
Does anyone know if radio therapy (breast) if you’re already on thyroxine might affect levels/ blood tests at all? I had radio this week but a test coming up in 6weeks to check levels following a thyroxine increase while on tamoxifen. I know it can induce, this is is yourre already on a stable dose

Lung cancer
Diagnosed with lung cancer very high in lung, Doctor says it's very difficult to get for biopsy, and then tells me that as I weigh 130 kg I might not be suitable for
radiotherapy
, is this right?

Next steps after radiotherapy
He got a PET scan and then underwent ~20 days of
radiotherapy
in Nov 2023. But his doctor has not asked him to do any follow-up tests after the
radiotherapy
ended. Is this the norm?

Pancreas problems after RT for prostate
Received
radiotherapy
and hormone therapy. My PSA levels have dropped and progress seems OK. I have also had M.E. and fibromyalgia for over 25 years and, as part of that, IBS.

felt a bit bruised
I found finding a comfortable bra was more of a problem because of swelling from the op and also
radiotherapy
. Hope all goes well for you.

Another cause of Pernicious Anaemia?
But what I’ve never seen mentioned is the possibility of
radiotherapy
cancer treatment in the region of the stomach that contains the parietal cells , causing Pernicious Anaemia . Surely irradiation would damage the parietal cells and cause B12 deficiency .

Dexamethasone
My cousin has a brain tumour and is receiving
radiotherapy
. In addition, she has been prescribed 2mg daily dexamethasone steroids. I'm wondering what is the difference between this drug and prednisolone?

Radiotherapy for OC in lymph nodes
I wonder if those on here in England, who have had
radiotherapy
, could please tell me which hospital trust you had the treatment under. My oncologist still says they don't use
radiotherapy
, though I know many of you have had it.

Bowel and bladder problems after Radiotherapy
I underwent some chemo and a great deal of
radiotherapy
, 36 sessions as far as I remember. Following successful treatment I discovered that I have vaginal stenosis, obviously very unhappy about that but, hey I'm alive.
