Hey Pammy!!! OUCH!!! I had exactly the same as you in 2011 and I worked the whole way through but my Radiologist said I had to have 2 weeks off at the end, thank God I did!!! I needed it the burns were like yours and fatigue horrendous! Solugel is the best to use absolutely! and I wouldnt be going back to work if its still that bad honestly, I think mine turned around in about a week once it starts to heal it really heals quickly. I also didnt wear any bra just smothered solugel and a loose top no gauze, so it could breathe. Hope it starts to kick in! but if you can delay work for a little bit more, health is important.
