My mum told me today that she had been diagnosed with breast cancer. She will have to have an operation and go through radiotherapy. I'm so worried- she will have to be in hospital for 4 days then go once every day. I'd be thankful for any information about the symtoms of radiotherapy and cancer, ways to make her feel better about it and any other things that would be useful. Thank you.
Radiotherapy can make the patient feel kinda tired and sometimes sick, but the symptoms vary from patient to patient.
When she's feeling sick (if she does) you can look after her and let her sit down and get her a towel and a bucket and some water, stuff like that. If she gets tired, then do some of the housework for her and look after any pets/siblings you have :)
And keep her positive!! Cry if you want to when she is crying but otherwise be strong! Tell her it's all gonna be OK and give her lots of hugs. Maybe take her shopping or to see a funny film? People with positive attitudes are medically proven to be more likely to recover from illnesses!
Blessed Be,
