🌟 February 2026 Radiation Roll Call—You’re Not Walking This Alone 🌟

If radiation is part of your plan this February, you’ve found a place to land. This thread is for everyone on the radiation road—whether you’re still waiting on your start date, in the middle of daily sessions, or already looking back on the experience.

This is a space for connection, honesty, encouragement, and the kind of support that only comes from people who truly understand what these weeks can feel like.

We invite you to share whatever feels helpful, including:
• Your diagnosis and treatments you’ve already had
• Your radiation start date and schedule (if you’d like)
• How your body and emotions are responding
• Questions, concerns, or those “is this normal?” moments
• Tips, reassurance, and perspective from people who’ve been there

If radiation is already behind you—or you’re further along—your insight is invaluable here. The things you wish you’d known, what helped you get through, and what surprised you can make this road feel far less daunting for someone just starting out.

As you get ready, don’t miss our List of What to Do / Get / Pack to Prep for Radiation Therapy. You’ll also find clear, practical guidance in our Radiation Therapy section, including:
• Types of radiation
• What to expect week by week
• Questions to ask your care team
• Ways to manage—or even prevent—side effects

And if you’re craving deeper connection, our Virtual Support Groups are here for you during treatment and beyond.

We’re really glad you’re here. This community is ready to walk alongside you, every step of the way.
💛 You’ve got this—and we’ve got you.
