Hi @kiwikris72 and congrats on getting to the end of chemo! I had 6 weeks of rads (finished four months ago) and it was so much easier than chemo. Fatigue was minimal and only felt it during the last week. I think the daily sessions catch up with you then. As for skin issues I had a minor rash on my chest early on that steroid cream fixed very quickly and the small burn under my arm only blistered after treatment finished. Bepanthen and combine dressing soon fixed that. It sounds like you are having the new shorter treatment so it may be different for you. Also I had a lumpectomy not a mastectomy which I think makes less likely to cause major problems. Anyway don’t worry too much - just keep that moisturiser slathered on! I think you will most likely be able to work through it. Good luck! 😘
