The Christie hospital in Manchester has opened its proton beam facilities, my husband's burn came out on his back the worse but the cream he was given helped. The burn inside on his gullet was the problem.
My daughter wants to be an oncology radiotherapist and listening to the lecturers at the universities things are progressing all the time

I had Radio 15 years ago and sailed through it with no burning of the skin at all, I was extremely tired throughout the treatment , it seems to zap your energy, the area where they zapped me was uncomfortable but it seems like I got away lightly compared to some , I wish you well with your treatment and hope yours is as kind to you as mine was .

I had hoped there would be improvements to ease the burn. I thought I'd gotten off lightly but it was after my 25 sessions that the burns, peeling skin and soreness began. My radiotherapy began immediately after chemo so I was already compromised and, as Linda said, by mid pm I was out for the count
00swan, I reckon you'll be reet hin, you may be surprised how well you'll cope, a positive attitude makes a huge difference, likely my family would've pulled me into line had I been a daft mare. I'm one of the luckiest lasses alive and still as daft as a brush

I had radiotherapy in 2006 for breast cancer. I had no problems at all with burn marks. Like Lindaelaine I felt very tired but that could also have been because I had the radiotherapy right in the middle of 8 chemo sessions. The exhaustion could have been a combination of both.
I wish you well and quick recovery. |

Thanks for this
Thank you - I'm hoping it will be okay I can cope with itchy Nice to hear someone else say lucky - I think I've been really lucky too - I've only just finished chemo, which wasn't as bad as I expected Thank you - lots of people are saying tiredness is the common issue
