Gosh @Chelley59 - working thru it as well!!! Do they cut you some slack if you aren't feeling well? I hope so.
Did you get the sharp shooting pains now & then? I had them for a good few months! They don't know what causes it either - just a stab out of the blue! Almost takes your breath away!
If your treatment was around the nipple - were you face up or face down for the rads? I was face down, as mine was in close to the nipple - and haven't heard of anyone else going face down!!
The nausea could also just be the cumulative & emotional effect of ticking off that box too .... so I hope you are feeling better soon. Keep up your fluids - this heat is sucking it out of EVERYONE! My urine was a bit dark last week - a surefire sign of not drinking enough water! DUH! (My tabs have given me way more hot flushes again too recently, so even more 'high temps/sweats' contributing to the loss of fluid too!)
My Rad Onc also recommended an oily mix called BOZ (often used for baby rash!) - you need to put a paper towel (I used damp blue kitchen cloth) over it so it doesn't stain your clothes - so maybe just use it at night .....
Take care xx
