Started Radiation 'boost' today

Hello everyone!
Today I'm on my final wk of Radiation. The boost as we call it. And I must say I'm so happy not to have to hold my damn breath for this 1!!! Most of you know I'm a radiation therapist so I know  the ins and out of this treatment but I admit I found the holding my breathe very difficult and anxious, and I apologise to anyone else who has to do it! I have some feedback for my department so hopefully we can tweak it and make it less stressful.
In other news my skin is starting to break down in the expected places, (collarbone, armpit a d under my breast).

I hope everyone is travelling ok with their treatment xx
