Hi Angie, I finished radiation 3 weeks ago and have battled the daily dressings and going back to the radiation nurses at hospital weekly ever since. In fact I will go again tomorrow. I was supposed to go today but have felt unwell all week with aches and pains all over. I haven't a temperature so don't think its an infection. They gave me a dose of antibiotics the week before I finished radiation just in case anyway. I felt as though I breezed through it but from day 5 post radiation my skin under the breast has reacted badly. Maybe the lymphedema is playing up too which I have had in the left breast since March right after my surgery. Today is the first day that I don't feel that burning pain as my skin is starting to finally heal, but I don't know why the aching bones. I just want one week since January of this year since my diagnosis where I feel really good. !!!
So far the only thing that I seem to be travelling okay with is Tamoxifen. I hope it stays that way for me.
Best wishes to you and take care.
