Hi all just an update to where i am at.
Have just completed 33 sessions of radiation and am completley burned and blistered. being treated with solugel and glad wrap.Is this normal did anyone else have this treatment after radiation?.I am in a lot of pain and having slow release morphine which seems to take the edge off.
was very emotional yesterday after my last treatment. cant believe i made it!! 6 mnths of chemo done! 6 and a half weeks of radiation done.! now just herceptin for a year and exemestane for 5 years.
will feel a bit lost being home and no appointments or treatments hip hip hooray!!!!
good luck everyone on your journeys, it seems to take for ever but it does end im proof of that xxxx

congrats but sorry
O you poor darl burning like that.I glowed like a hotplate but my skin never broke down.I do remember some ladies burning quite badly though.Sounds like they are keeping a moist dressing on you.It must be so painful but you should heal quickly now that it's finished.Rest up and take care.

HI ANNIE
Hey Girl, hope you got in touch with the district nurse to check out the burns, i was going to visit but have a rotten bronchitis at the moment and wont come near you okay till it's gone.
it's great that you have finished the treatment we all know how isolated you feel at the end, but we are all here for you.
now as i said if there is any hassles let me know, and i will catch up soon .
take care Fran
