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 ?

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?

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?

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.

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.

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.

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 .

What should I do - follow-ups not feeling thorough
So I had surgery, chemo, external
radiotherapy
and then horrible internal
radiotherapy
. That all finished February last year and I’m pretty well at the moment - just uber sensitive to any little twinge. Current mild back ache.

Please send me some positivity.
I will either need surgery (if they can), chemo or
radiotherapy
. I'm so scared as this is my first recurrence from Stage 4 ovarian cancer and I'm only 56 and have two teenagers. I can't stop crying.
