Glad to read your post from today @scoops , it really sucks to have to go through any of this but you are ticking boxes and moving along now.
It's all the waiting and going backwards and forwards , so a plan is good for now.
Our mind is a powerful thing so keep your mind clear, one day at a time. I am certainly not an expert but i started this journey last year in May. i haven't been on this page for a while as I have been in a good place . But the last few weeks I have had to have scans and things so back on that roller coaster. It helps to be on this page as we are all connected through this.
You could prepare your skin for the rads now ( I used moogoo soap and the udder cream even before radiation so i felt like I was doing the best I could, ( not sure if it helped but it was something positive I felt I could do to help my body, which helped my mind. I finished radiation end August and have been on Tamoxifen. All I can suggest is listen to your body write things down ( just in case you need to look back on some things,and try not to read too much into other peoples side affects for now, keep that mind positive.
My surgeon was not really big on getting base lines or blood levels but my oncologist is and I am so glad they did bloods in the beginning as a few things have come up and at least we have something to base things on and they are ale to get some answers faster than if we didn't have the base lines.
I wish you the best for your radiation, you can do this.
Thanks for sharing your story ( its another step , you are taking control of what you can and you are able to share it with us , its a massive step )
Wishing you all the best xx
