Cording (post-mastectomy)
Can anyone tell me how they have managed cording? I have a pretty bad case in my left arm -- it starts in my armpit and goes all the way down to my wrist, and also down my chest. When I twist you can...

HI Bardoe
Everything you said in this post has come to fruition! :) I have two treatments left on the bolus! Yeah! Nearly there.
My skin has blistered and I am having burns dressing on every day but it is not painful, only uncomfortable. It has only been this las tweek and I expect into next week.
The fatigue hit me hard about 10 days ago - wet rag - and I couldn't go to work. I will be having next week off as well (3 in total). I can't get through the day without a sleep in the arvo.
My daughter (& baby) arrived yesterday so that is really wonderful. Such a tonic.
Everyone at RT are just wonderful (as you say) and very professional. It doesn't feel like treatment at all. I've met some lovely people there and made friends with one of the pats who finished last week but has to come back for dressings. She has had chemo as well so has really been through the mill, like you. I feel so darned lucky! Truly!
Thanks for your support.
