Radiation after radical hysterectomy

Hi all,

I'm just looking for any advice or tips on what to expect having radiation after a radical hysterectomy that anyone can give. I had a RH with ovary and lymph node removal on 31st March. I have now been informed there is a possibility of a bout of radiation but my MDT are still on the fence atm about it. Has anyone here had the same treatment? If so, how long after surgery did your radiation start? What side effects to expect from the radiation? Any tips or tricks to make the process as easy as possible?

 

Thanking you in advance.

I don't have an answer for you, but I am having ovarian transposition during my RH (scheduled for May 12)because they are thinking I will also need radiation. So hugs, and I am also interested innthe answers.
