The worst of it comes after the last session.

Radiation runs backwards. Nothing much happens for the first week or two. Then it builds - and it keeps building past your final appointment, peaking in the fortnight when everyone is congratulating you.

The last session is not the finish line. It is about two weeks before the worst of it.

Inside:

  • Every week of treatment, and the weeks after it ends
  • Why the peak is two weeks past your last appointment
  • Your own site - head and neck, chest, pelvis, breast
  • Skin care, including the advice that has changed
  • The effects that arrive months or years later
  • A log page for every treatment day
Where the major cancer organisations disagree, this book prints both versions rather than choosing one.

This book reports published guidance and is not medical advice. Where it differs from your care team, your team is right.
