small steps forward
Hi everyone, just a little hello as I’m joining you on this journey and now feel brave enough to say hello. I was diagnosed June 28th, following a random self check, two weeks before a planned 5 week...

All the best with your Rads, @Karen_A ... mine was on my right boob so I didn't have to do the breath holding bit ... Great that they've suggest the use of Strata XRT to help prevent burns. Keep the lotions/potions up to the Rad area at least 2-3 times a day after each session, specially before going to bed .... and continue doing that for 4-6 weeks after the Rads finishes, as it 'continues' to 'cook' - and will feel warm for about that period of time. My Rads team was just amazing - so much so, I blubbed like a baby on my last day! I felt so emotional as I'd been with them for 5 of 7 days every week & were my 'support team' ... Keep an eye out for any really pink areas or if the skin 'breaks down' ... let them know. I found it almost 'relaxing' & almost fell asleep a couple of times! (but I didn't have to hold my breath! LOL)
I went on holiday to Norfolk Island afterwards, as a 'well done me' ... and just loved it.
take care & all the best
