Radiotheraphy

Hi

 

Well after going through Chemo with anaflatic reaction and infection after infection.  Then the Op and recovering now I have came through radiotheraphy 4 weeks of sessions with different sessions to the left and more to the right.  I have now came out in a major reaction after seeing my plastic surgeon.  I am due to see the radiotheraphy consultant on Friday but their does not seem to be alot of help in the mean time.  I am struggling to sleep on a night time my pain management has changed my medication that i am on for back spasms during the Chemo.  Has anyone suffered skin reaction to the radiotheraphy?  This just seems to go on and on and I am worn out with it all.

Hi

 

What sort of skin reaction are you having?

Have not had any of your problems, as yet, but I have only had one op and radio. Now 3/5 of the way thru. Have you tried having breast uncovered for an hour or so so that the air gets to it? This usually makes me lie down and a snooze! Probably not the right person to give you ideas, but had to reply. Keep plugging away Lady and if need be keep asking the ?s and telling cancer care nurse of your worries. Am thinking of you and hope that improvements will come. I’m sure they will, but I appreciate that is Hell right now. Take care.
