Radiation burns
Hi to anyone reading this,
I am hoping for some advice. I have just finished 5 weeks of radiation treatment (following left breast removal) and am suffering quite badly from burns, especially acros...
Thanks to you all for your thoughts, it just sucks doesn't it! My doc has now given me a week off work and told me to do NOTHING but read, watch movies and sleep, which I had no trouble doing all day yesterday but of course was awake half the night! lol. They bandaged me with intrasite gel but that stuck through the night! Ouch. Anyway, I keep telling myself after reading some other stories my problems are minor and I will get through them and out the other side - someday.
Funny thing though - at the start of all this I was all gung-ho for reconstruction asap, now I think I might run for my life if the word surgery is even mentioned to me. Anyone else though of /thinking of / or done this?
Cheers to us all, Vicki
