Hey Georgie & Jo

My radio onco said today that the first and sometimes 2nd week after end of zapping is when your skin/boob looks worse and then it heals quite quickly after that. Ihad a visit with her today and she was happy with me but only 8 down and 27 to go.

Wishing you girls noyhing but quick recovery so you can move on and see that light at end of tunnel.

Iam typing one handed as my other arm is wrapped up and looks like an elephants trunk from the lymphodeama :-)

Take care girls
