Radiotherapy progress

It' been 1 and half week since the Radiotherapy(RT) started. Out of 28 sittings, 8 have finished. 4 more weeks to go as it happens only on the week days. The 2 days gap every week is given to give the healthy cells some time to recuperate.

Until now no side effects except some redishness in the exposed area. No other problems.

There is some pain in the breast occasionally which is unrelated to the therapy and is more likely associated with the surgery.
For that Mom has been prescribed a pain killer, Tryptomer (10 mg) daily before going to bed.

One word for the Manipal hospital RT staff . They are exceptionally polite, helping and professional led by a very caring Dr. Sanjiv Sharma. It's been worth travelling 30 kms (15 one way) daily for the treatment.

  1. Good account of the treatment! I hope your mom is well now. My mom went through similar treatment with Dr Sanjiv Sharma as well. It was also during december2011-january2012 time frame.

    As you said, the staff were very helpful, polite and encouraging. I hope this information gets out to others in the city who are in need of cancer treatment.

    Thanks for sharing!
