Radiation finally over
I had my last radiation treatment today and it feels so wonderful to have finished treatment. My skin is very burnt and sore, but the nurses have given me two pots of zinc and caster oil cream to apply. I don't think it will sink in that I don't have to go to the hospital until same time tomorrow!
Skin breaking
Only four treatments left and my skin has started to break down and flake under my breast. Sunburn has spread to under my arm. The nurses are now dressing the area for me with Intrasite Gel and non adhesive dressings- which is wonderfully cooling.
The last radiation treatment can't come soon enough!
Burning itch
Just had my 16th treatment and my skin has broken out in a rash below my breast and above it. It is so unbelievably itchy.
I have tried sorbolene and Dermacream with hydrocortisone, but it is only give me minimum relief. Tonight I put a cold face washer on my skin which is helping take some of the itch out.
