Hi Monica
I know exactly how you're feeling! I got the phone call last Thursday to say my planning day was Monday - not much warning but I didn't care. So went through Monday and the ladies and oncologist were wonderful - even provided the oil to clean off the drawings when done (although I'd gone braless for the appt anyway).
I know I start on the 14th Nov but not actual time schedule yet - they warned me it could be as late as the Thursday before again although they are going to try to work as close to my requests as possible which will allow me to work a few mornings if I can cope with that and the daily travel.
As far as skin issues prevention, both the radiation nurses and my plastic surgeon have recommended plying with aloe vera cream and then if any reactions are worse than that can handle they'll treat as we go.
Had my last chemo today so am really looking forward to this next step too.
Hugs and all the very best wishes for a non bumpy path!
