Hi Georgie,
I sent you a personal message, maybe you didn't get it?
So here's my news. Yes, today i had my last zap so I should be celebrating, but my infection has spread to my lymph node scar and I'm back on massive antibiotics to save me having to go back to the surgeon to have it drained (yuk). I find out next Wednesday. Then, I wake up this morning with a rash all over me. No doctors at the radiation clinic so had to go to my GP. Apparently I've now had an allergic reaction to the drugs! So, new drugs plus anti allergy medication added to the mix.
Needless to say, radiation therapy has not been fun. My left boob is also 'brick red', covered with blisters and still carrying the remnants of the staph infection!
So, my positive side is saying radiotherapy is over, now I WILL get well!
What really sucks is I can't have my planned 'too many red wines' celebration while I'm still on all these drugs.
Glad you're back at work and on the last leg of radiation. Like me, I'm sure you'll be glad when it's over!
Good luck with it and keep me posted!
