Hi Jo Mac
I started radiotherapy on Wed 20th June so I am 2 zapps ahead of you (doing 9 day fortnights - the zapper get serviced every second friday) , I haven't experienced the werid taste in my mouth so far........ but do get occaional sharp stabbing pains through my breast - told the rads therapists and they dicussed with the rads nurse and said that it was reasonably common. Has your boob changed colour at all? My looks a little pink and sometimes the skin tingles, I put on the recommended cream in the morning after my shower, around lunchtime, directly after rads and then just before bed in the hope of staving off the broken skin that many ladies have talked about. (advice from the lovely Chris on this site).
Sorry you here with us on this site but I have found it a wonderful source of support and friendship. I like you have managed to skip chemo and also consider myself to be very very lucky. Hopefully when my our zapping (6th August is my last one) is over and the talked about fatigue has gone we can continue with life as before though I know it will never be quite the same after this experience of cancer world. Please stay in touch and we can chart this experience together.
Take care
