Backward Step
Not having fun at the moment. I was 5 weeks post radiation and ended up spending 5 days in hospital on IV antibiotics with large saroma, cystitis in my breast. Horrible pain ultra sound aspiration of 65mils of fluid drained and 1 week later not much better. On a strong course of antibiotics for 4 weeks. I see my gp tomorrow, my oncologist next Thursday and surgeon next Friday to follow up. Just when I was feeling really good mentally and physically and boom. This is such a roller coaster ride ladies. Just feeling blah ☹️Last RAD Today
Had my last rad treatment today and couldn't be happier...skin is not good but so happy it is over. Another 2 weeks rest and hopefully can get back into the swing of things at work. Short shifts of course and taking my time. Would like to share a pic from the dreaded radiation room today. Got to put my thumb print on the tree to show I'm finished.Re: Radiotherapy side effects
Well after 18 treatments my breast is red raw especially under arm pit, have new freckles and. It liking this one bit. Using all creams, special soap free soaps in shower soft bras and padding. Not looking forward to a double hit on Thursday because of public holidays. Have appointment with oncologist Tuesday so will be discussing these issues with her.
