BTW astro,  if your skin starts to break out in all little blisters,  get them to get you on solugell and gauze and dressings. Don't leave it until it's a festering mess.   The stuff is magic.  My skin was literally falling apart at end of week 4.  Once I started on the solugel and dressings,  it was actually healing even as radiation continued each day.   By end of week 7,  it looked better then at end of week 4

Thanks Stu, I'll chase it up. Looking at getting onto the cannabis oil as well to try and help keep my munchies and weight on track. Stay well friend.

Thankyou so much for the info.  I have decided to put radiation treatment on hold and start the target therapy instead. Unlike you guys, I'm just not up for radiation treatment right now. Really, really appreciate the replies. X

Hi Chris, I am prescribed the THC oil and the CBT in 30ml bottles, it's fabulous for the aches, pains, sleeping and eating. I'm in SA.    All the best to you...Carol 👌
