Many Thanks @Romla ..... I was using the creams 3 times a day during treatment & now using BOZ ointment 2 x a day .... my boob isn't anywhere near as hot this week as it was last week (tho is still a tad warm) as the week before, it was the hottest .... I'll keep using the ointment til I see the Rad specialist again in 4 weeks & see what she says. I've been very lucky in just having a little peeling - nothing major at all compared to what some others have had to contend with!
It is now nearly the same colour as the other one too! The nipple was super sensitive/hyper sore - but less so now - I can sleep on my tummy again without discomfort. The stabbing pain has lessened - maybe once a day now, so that is good.
I've been out in my kayak for 6-8hrs at a time & casting all the time & have been OK, I've been doing some enthusiastic uke strumming at 4 gigs this week - so definitely tired out when I get home!
Talking of which ... time for bed! Big Hugs to you too xxx
