I just finished a 3-month chemotherapy treatment. I am scheduled to have the next treatment which is radiation but I am scared to think that I will be injected radiation into my body. The CTscan came out good so why do I need to take a radiation treatment? The oncologist said that if I won't have radiation the cancer will come back. I am on short-term disability from my job and I just received a letter that if I won't go back to work as soon as possible, I will be terminated. During my chemotherapy treatment I had all the bad side effects of chemo. I lost interest in life and I was so depressed and lost self-esteem in spite of having a very supportive and loving family. I need a second opinion on radiation therapy. I would really appreciate it if somebody will talk to me about this. Thank you very much.
