Radiation therapy is a real breeze. There's nothing to radiation therapy, but I was apprehensive about it. Now this is a 28 day treatment. Monday through Friday you go to the hospital for a 30 second treatment. I had a roll of toilet paper at home. Every day that I came home, you rip off a piece of toilet paper and then you can count how many more days you have left. I did not have any side effects from the radiation. I did not get tired, I did not get nauseated, I went on with my life. I think the hardest part is when you're done, because now you've gone through all the treatment. You're on your own, you're back out in society and the doctor's appointments aren't there anymore. In fact, before I finished my radiation therapy treatment, I was volunteering in radiation oncology at the hospital. |
