Radiotherapy for Breast Cancer – A Bliss

Radiotherapy for breast cancer is something which has been benefiting women a lot than other treatment therapy.

For me, it was the worst moment when I was being told about one of my friends who had cancer. The radiotherapy treatment was suggested by the doctor to her. Having been there it was shocking for me. But, I was to be very patient and strong for the sake of my friend.

Her treatment regime was consisting of four types of treatments which include FEC chemo etc. And, one treatment was four weeks of radiotherapy treatment.

Four weeks of radiotherapy for breast cancer was treated her like a job. She used to go to the hospital at allotted time every day. The treatments really had a fantastic set up in hospitals for radiotherapy patients. A special car park was there next to the unit for radiotherapy patients’ where they are guaranteed a space.

The actual treatment of radiotherapy ended in a few minutes and according to her it was as painless and quite relaxing as well. It depends from patient to patient because for some people, the treatment is very tiring and for some it is quite relaxing.

What I have observed while going with her during radiotherapy for breast cancer treatment that if someone is treated with chemo first then the perception of tiredness is changed! The visit to hospital regularly is a bit of a bind otherwise the mental trick to over come this is great.
