How are you doing?

I’ve now done 20 rads and 5 to go, then 5 boosts.

Very very very sore boobs at mo -see my other post, just wondering how you’re doing as I think you started rads same time as me.

Hope you’re ok

Hiya Hannah,

I have 3 left to go so finish on Tuesday. Sadly my skin started to split a few days ago. It hasn’t been TOO bad except on Friday night (must have been stinging because it was split already and I didn’t know that and still creamed it). When I turn over in the mornings it feels like it’s unzipping again… Eeeeek

Today they put one of those gel dressings on it and I’ve got the supplies to do it again in the morning. Not sore anywhere else apart from where the split is.

Oh well, we’ll get there in the end…

Hi Mousy

Good to hear from you - it’s such a horrible place to have sore bits as it’s so awkward to get dressings on or get the air to it!! I saw my Doctor on Thursday and she’s advised to move straight to the ‘boost’ bit to give the area a chance to recover, still have 5 sessions left to do on whole breast area so am postponing those until area has healed a bit. It’s so red raw and so painful. Can’t believe my boobs will ever look normal again!

Hope you’re doing ok -just 2 to go now for you, brilliant. Whats the plan for you after your rads?

Speak soon.

Hi,

I’m now peeling underneath a little and have a spot under the arm where I think it’s about to peel too. Not raw and uncomfortable yet thankfully.

Nothing after rads. Just a check up mid April. I’m triple neg.

Try the cold hairdryer treatment it works I promise!
