I have breast cancer and I’m starting radiation tomorrow. I understand that it’s supposed to reduce the risk of reoccurrence and that it is destroying cells. But how? Which cells are affected? Why will it make me tired?
In: Biology
I just finished 28 days of radiation (which took two months) for endometrial cancer. Funny thing is, I really started ‘feeling’ it after the radiation ended. Massive nausea, and I have no energy. My skin didn’t get burned like I was warned, but god the nausea was worse than I expected. I think it probably affects people differently, though. So your experience might not be the same as mine.
Seriously, fuck cancer. I’m wishing you good luck.
