Curious about radiation experiences? Pros/Cons?

Posted by keirahaley @keirahaley, Aug 22 7:48pm

Curious about radiation experiences… I have low grade serous ovarian, stage 4, a recent PET post surgery and chemo showed there might be activity in my bones. Waiting for bone scan results too. I do have discomfort and pain and have a radiation consult next week but I am curious if anyone has been in a similar place and how it’s gone for them… any word is appreciated! (I am on tamoxifen right now and that’s seems to be going well, almost 3 weeks in and my breathing is better and a funky lymph node has shrunk too).

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Gynecologic Cancers Support Group.

Thankfully I have not had any bowel or bladder issues . They did a good job preparing me to minimize potential fir damage such as having a full bladder fir every treatment

My team did as well, made sure bladder full, but they didn't tell me why. I find out post radiation "the why"
To protect bladder etc
