Radiation therapy

Hi 

Just a little more about myself , I was diagnosed breast cancer July 2019 left breast  invasive carcinoma grade 3 shock of my life as I am very fit and well .had opp that went well consultant said cancer taken out , chemotherapy next every three weeks struggled with that , consultant reduced dose by 20% not so nausea, very light headed for at least a week , sickness tablets helped abit, hair came out after 10 days, very dry mouth but GP priscrbed a Salava  spray helped a lot and sucking ginger , Vision slightly blurred for a good week. GP priscrbed dry eye drops which helped. I have 3 more cycles to go,   then an opp for margin excision then radiotherapy  for 15 fractions could anyone tell me what to expect with radiation I know every one is different, then I go onto Herceptin for a year could anyone also tell me if they were able to go to work whilst having the treatment please , Thank you for taking the time to read my story and any advised would be appreciate ,

every one takecare
