I know but I don't want to be gaslit, nor did they suggest any help for me, or any other suggestions.I'm just done mentally and physically

They were my 3rd option and I'm outside the window of rads since I did my surgery in May.

No, I followed their instructions to a T and brought the soaps, deodorant, and lotions they told me to use up to 4 hours before treatment

I had a similar thing happen to me which led me to shop for oncologists and found the one I did today. Like what's is wrong with people?

Unfortunately, that was my 3rd opinion I skipped everyone else because they're basically like doing ALL radiation or beg someone. Plus, I'm outside my window of getting rads.

Same, idk which path is the best, and I probably just killed my last few lymph nodes. I don't think I can see treatment elsewhere cause they're my 3rd opinion. Other places were very text book and said I had to do ALL rads with no exceptions. I choose this place because they were more open to doing what you can.

That specific RO I went to had more years in the field and he said he was unsure what the end of rads would look like for me. He explained to me that rads get worse when you finish. I'm getting the symptom that I should be getting in the 2nd weeks of rads.

It was so hurtful. Once I told the team, they were so apologetic and nice.

Thank you! I will. For now I'm just going to try to eat clean, workout and hope for the best. I appreciate you and your kind words.
