Day #10 Down
Days #8, #9 #10. In the rearview mirror. Done.
I am about halfway done with radiation treatment! Can I get an amen?!?
So Monday and Tuesday were easy. In fact, yesterday (Day #9) I felt no side effects. No pain, no discomfort, no fatigue ... almost completely normal. It is wonderful to have days like this while undergoing radiation.
Today was a bit tougher. More pain especially in the skin and rib area underneath the breast. It feels a bit like when you scrape your knee or get a burn. I have swelling and it's uncomfortable for sure. There was a lot of heat today and the treatment seemed long. I guess I was overdue for something as I haven't had a bad day since last Thursday.
I really feel like lying down and just going to sleep in hopes that I'll feel better in the morning. I guess that's the fatigue talking. Lol.
My skin is still holding up well though. No blistering, redness, not much swelling and no breaks or rash. It's between days 10 and 14 that most patients notice changes with their skin in the treated area.
I am still using my homemade NAPALM for cancer (thanks to my brother for naming it) and it seems to be doing the job of moisturizing and protecting the skin.
I got this!!!
