Radiotherapy and mepitel

@Sister SO lovely to hear from you & so sorry to everyone for not being online for sooooo long! So much going on in my life at the moment, nothing bad, just too busy. We're selling an investment property that my hubbie was living in while he was working away so moving all the furniture & crap that he has accumulated over 4 years & trying to fit it all back in one house!! Two houses into one really doesn't fit so we are living with twice as much furniture as we need! Also working full time so today & tomorrow are my last days off for the next year or so, so I'm busy doing as many jobs as I can. I am really well, running, walking & exercising daily & I am also doing a "Healthy Living After Cancer " program through Cancer Council SA which is great & takes around 6 months to complete with weekly/fortnightly/monthly phone calls. I am booked in to see my breast surgeon next month for a check up & then it won't be long before we are both due for our annual mammo...so that will be a tough day for us both!! My skin is really good but I am still just rubbing my rad area & surgery site with a good Vit E cream twice a day just to keep it supple as I am finding the area a bit "tight" when I stretch which I guess is due to the rad that has gone on underneath the skin!! I'll check it out with my surgeon when I see her. While in Adelaide seeing my surgeon, I am also getting a bone density test, checkup pelvic ultrasound (following my operation to remove my ovaries & tubes) & also a skin cancer check so I am certainly getting the once over!!

It's quite ironic that this morning I was thinking of you too & wondering about your rad treatment. Funny how we have this sixth sense with each other!! I thought you must be into it at the moment so sorry I have missed the start of your treatment but hope it is all going well. SO GREAT to hear that you are using the Mepitel & keep onto the nurses about getting it checked EVERY day as you dont want any bubbles or lifted areas. What clinic/hospital are you going to? I hope my info as I wrote above to @Lallaby has helped you & I would love to hear how you are going & if you have any questions I may be able to help you with. Do you have to do the breath hold? I hope you are staying strong throughout & I'm sure your family & friends are being supportive through this treatment as they have been at the start. Please keep in touch & I promise to check-in more often to see what everyone is up to. I should be grateful that i am back working & feeling healthy again & that life is pretty normal. I just wish it wasn't so busy!! Take care & thanks so much for your thoughts. Even though I haven't been online for so long, I think of you often & pray that you are remaining strong & your treatment is going well. Love & Hugs xxxx
