two-thirds thru radiation

Well, I am on the downhill side - my radiation treatments will be done by Feb 21. I am tolerating them well, the reddness is not too bad, but then I use my special cream without fail, at least 3 times a day.

Glowing in the dark?

I'm into my 3rd week of radiation treatments.  My boob is getting slightly hard and is just a little swollen.  The incision mark from the complete right axillary dissection is beginning to itch which is strange since my skin has completely lost sensation since the surgery.  My right shoulder is getting just a bit tight... Read moreChevron

The New Year brings new treatment

Hi! Thanks for everyone's thoughts. I went for my first treatment today. 25 minutes in and out, 2 hours 10 minutes driving! I'm going to John Hopkins and participating in a study of the breathing apparatus to see if it helps minimize damage to the heart and lungs. That makes it worth the drive.
