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, I finished my 25th treatment on Feb 22nd on my right side. I had blisters, peeling skin, itchiness, swollen & tender breast, very reddened entire radiated area, sunburn style stinging in all reddened area along with exhaustion, nerve pain & nausea. The last 3 weeks of treatment were worst & side effects kept worsening after treatment ended - as they'd explained it would. Thankfully my skin has markedly improved in the last few days. I had been given a couple of different creams/gels for the burns & their pain & itchiness. I was told it would get worse before it starts to improve & I'm def at tge point of it having improved. I know we're all different but that's been my recent experience. It should start to ease soon for you. Thinking of you & wishing you well, Rosetta ???
