Radium: what is it, and does it hurt?The biggest issue for myself from the Radiotherapy was juggling the treatment with a Job and the commute itself being a daily 5 hour round trip from my house. At this point in the treatment, it felt a lot of people had gotten ‘bored’ of my condition (myself included) and apart from one or two people, the offers to help dried up quite quickly. However, I really did have myself to blame. I played my illness off to a point that my own mother and Nick thought I was ok, It was only when I had to cycle to the train station, catch a train, then a bus, have treatment and then back every day, did my condition start to get me down. Radium is easy compared to chemo, but it does make you tired, so I would not recommend doing daily 5 hour round trips if you can help it. |
