Burnt Boob
Hi All
Just wondering how others coped when they got burnt from radiation. I finished my 25 days of radiation last Thursday. Before I finished I started to burn but since stopping it has got worse....

Hi Ady,
It sounds uncomfortable. I start my radiation on Tuesday. What you are experiencing sounds very much like what they told me in my education session ie that the radiation side effects like the skin reaction would likely show up towards the end of radiation. They warned me that the skin side effects could worsen for the few weeks after radiation was completed. Hang in there, sounds as if you are doing all of the right things and that the nursing staff are following up. Ask lots of questions. Did you get some written information before you started radiotherapy? Revisit them and you might be reassured that what you are experiencing is a common side effect of your treatment.
