Has anyone here had radiotherapy following chemo and hysterectomy please? I was fine with chemo, hardly any side effects, but I have to have radiotherapy 5 days a week for 5 weeks :(

Thanks in advance

Hi baths
4500 cGy in 25 fractions ( 5 x 5 therefore five weeks worth)

is 45 grays - I got 40 in 15 (three weeks ) to my pelvis and then had an operation and felt pretty awful for a year

whereas last year I got another 40 - zapping my rt orbit this time - they have to nail your head to the floor in order to get you to keep still for that one - and I didnt feel too bad

Smaller area....perhaps I knew what it was gonna be like

anyway - 'we' are just getting into the fifth week
you will have heard lots of people dinging the dinger and it willbe your turn soon

( take a camera and get someone to take a photie )

sozza about the delay
I have only just seen the post

[Bathsheba]

No worries, pp.
Blimey, sounds like you've been through the mill ;)
I'm getting a bit concerned that I haven't had any side-effects from either treatment ....are they doing it right, lol.
There's no way I'm ringing that bell....can't act like I'm cured for 5 years yet ;)
Dave who takes me on a Friday has said he'll ring it :) x x
