Congratulations to Karen for getting thru her active treatment - It will probably take weeks for the 'hot feeling' to settle down - and being weary & is very much a part of this. Sometimes I would soak a facecloth in salty water & leave it in the fridge & put it on some troublesome spots, to cool it down. It was glorious! I hope her skin issues clear up soon - just make sure she keeps any lotions up to the whole area (with advice from the nurses in conjunction with the meds) & to make sure that she wears 'sun proof' clothing - as the area will be very prone to sunburn, if exposed to it.
And a HUGE congratulations to you too, @GavinCh for your wonderful support of Karen. She couldn't have done it without you.
You've both found strengths that you didn't know you had & faced this together!
Onwards & upwards - hopefully Karen's meds won't give her any side effects - if so, drop in now & then, to let us know how she is going - better still - get Karen to jump on & join in & see just how beneficial the blog can be, for support, advice, a laugh & sometimes, a cry.
Take care & all the best for Karen's continuing treatment xx
