Starting radiation in December 2025? Gather here for support!
Are you scheduled to start radiation soon? Let's make a space where we can encourage each other who are traveling radiation road together — share experiences, get tips, ask questions and get answers from those who've "been there."
We encourage you to share your diagnosis, any previous treatment you've had, and your scheduled start date along with your radiation schedule.
To help you get started in preparation for your treatment, check out the List of What to Do/Get/Pack to Prep for Radiation Therapy. And, there's lots of great information on our site's Radiation Therapy section, including types of radiation, what to expect, questions to ask, and how to manage (or prevent) any side effects.
If you need more support, consider joining our Virtual Support Groups for those going through treatment — and beyond!
We're all here for you and look forward to supporting you!

I start radiation after Christmas. I am nervous, but hoping it helps with the pain I am having from stage 4 breast cancer that has moved to my ribs, back and spine. Been on Tamoxifen since 12/5. I hope the pain I have lessons🙏 I am tired of taking pain meds and certainly don’t like side effects like constipation. That’s the last thing I need. Merry Christmas to all🎄❤️
