Anyone else have side effects after radiation?

ndgrrl

HI,

I had the contura balloon inserted into my breast for brachytherapy(internal radiation) on Sept 6. Sept 9 to Sept 13th/ Every morning for 5 days I had to have a CT scan and then radtiation therapy and 6 hours later I would return for more radtiation therapy.  On sept 13th they removed the balloon and I got to go home. I got home and went to bed and slept and slept but when I woke up about 8 that night I felt ROTTEN. At 10 I started to puke and puked and puked. Finally around 1 am I decided to crawl into bed with bucket and all and noticed my shirt was wet. I then noticed that the steri strips had fallen off my wound( the wound is where the catheter came out the side of my breast) so I went to the local ER and he kept me until Sunday evening saying I was dehydrated and needed fluids and pain meds. He wanted to keep me but I had an appt in the larger town 2 hours from here to see my Onchologist to see what my test results were on Monday for my Oncho DX test- No CHEMO!!! YEA.. But I am still not feeling great- Still lack of appetite and nausea is around when I eat.  The local doctor said it was most likely a reaction from the radiation but the radiologist said it wasnt and it was something I ate?  HMMMM.. I hate it when doctors disagree. I was just wondering if anyone else had side effects from radiation therapy of any kind?
