Ok slightly less panicked, an update for anyone who may experience the same. I spoke to the nurse at the radiation centre I went to and she is confirming this later this afternoon with my radiation oncologist. She said it sounds like it may be the nerves healing. I feel a lot more relieved now than I did this morning! She also pointed out that I may need to speak to someone professionally to help me cope with my anxiety over this, I already thought I may need some help learning to "to change the channel" thank you Christine who put it in such fantastic words I could not have described it better myself.
