This Wednesday, I will be having my last cyberknife treatment, and I would like to know some good questions to ask my doctor? I want to know what's next after the radiation? like what simptoms will I fell, and how will i know if the radiation is working? Also I want to know what things can do and the thinks I should not do, u know? Im kind of nevervous about it, but at the same time excited to finish the radiation. I just want to know if im leaving out something important.
I had my CyberKnife treatment 8 months ago and they told me all of the dreadful side effects that they have to tell you about which I am sure you know (brain swelling, rebleed, headaches, fatigue, etc.) yet am so happy and fortunate to tell you that the only side effect I had was the extreme fatigue which went away within 2 months. My doctors also told me that the radiation does take some time to kick in (atleast 6 months post treatment) so just listen to your body and if you're feeling tired then rest and if you experience a headache that extra strength tylenol doesn't help with then to call them. It's so normal to be nervous and the only advice I can offer to you is don't let the nerves win this battle - so much easier said than done because my nerves won the battle initially but I'm winning the WAR :)))!!! Good luck tomorrow and please keep us posted on how you are feeling.
