@Romla, @sandramj, @JoeyLiz, @Anne65,
Many thanks for your kind responses. I’d never read/heard that itchiness would ever be an issue, so am glad (sort of) that I haven’t imagined it! LOL
When I mentioned it today to one of the nurses, they knew about it and recommended I put the Sorbelene cream in the fridge to cool it down! MORE than happy to suss out some of that cream, Anne!
Hehe, I’ve been rubbing it more than scratching it .... I don’t normally wear the bra, but did as I spent the weekend salt water fly fishing with buddies and thought I’d need the extra ‘support’ given the extra physical exertion (a cast of thousands for NO FISH. :( ) I wore one!
There is no pain or discomfort, so I am not too concerned .... just glad to know that it is ‘normal’!!
All the best with your final week of treatment, @Anne65 ... Congratulations on your handling of your journey to date .. the odd hiccup, but a commanding finish!! xx Lots of hugs and xxx coming your way. :smiley:
