3 radiation sessions to go!

Hello everyone, I had number 27 radiation today, my neck is very burnt, blistered and yukky, I am changing the glad wrap dressing on it 5 times a day, which is very painful. I am very tired and sore, but I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. Hope every one is doing well. Much love Penny

  • Yes Tonya it is hard to turn my neck. I am hoping to feel great for Mothers day as I am doing 5 km in the mothers day classic with my family. Xxx
  • It must be so uncomfortable for you and hard to turn your head I imagine. I guess you just want to hibernate at home till it heals.It's been a long haul for you hasn't it.Won't be long before your cute little bald nut is sprouting hair and you get some energy back.From memory,I think it took me a few weeks after the last radiation treatment to feel better,more energy.I think you'll be ready to whoop it up for Mother's day!

  • Not easy but you wear this in style! Good on you. It isn't forever. It is exciting to guess what our hair comes back like. I never expected mine to be white and very straight.

    Take care dear lady and 3 more to go!!!  Whooo! Hooo!
