No worries Nicola, I've been slow in replying too. Not sure how I miss some notifications sometimes :) Anyway, I burnt quite badly, had extra appointments with radio oncologists. Different medications both topical and oral to try ease burns, nausea, pain & nerve pain. I'm now 4 weeks since the last radio treatment and just today have had to see GP regarding a very sore, reddened area along part of my scar. GP seems to think my wound may be breaking down - oh yay....not. The rib underneath is also quite tender, has been on and off since about halfway through radiotherapy. I'm returning to work tomorrow after 5 weeks off and had been doing somewhat better from radiotherapy side effects until a few days ago when this area flared up - I had mentioned it to radio oncologist last Monday when it wasn't this severe, eek. I'm just taking it a day at a time still. My burnt skin is much better, thankfully. The peeled areas are trying to heal but will take a little longer. The nerve pain and tender/swollen areas are getting there but I'm on medications for those still. I commenced Tamoxifen last week.....fingers crossed for no side effects - what are the chances? ;) :) Best wishes to you and everyone, we'll get through this....x
