Hi Monica, Well done with completing the chemo and now your on the journey home. Dont feel nervous about what might happen. You have just had chemo so this will be a breeze. I used sorboline cream every night and morning, although i did miss two or three mornings. I have only in recent days come up with blisters around my breast line and on the center of my chest that have burst and gone into weeping redness and sores. It is very red under my arm area but the skin has not broken.Fingers crossed it wont.
What does worry me about the radiation is that my chest wall and under my ribs is very sore after treatment. It feels like a stitch in your side but under the rib. I am going to see the my GP tomorrow to make sure it is not my lung because where the rays go it captures the corner of the lung.
You meet so many new people going to treatment. At mine we all have a thing going to see who gets in first and how long the waiting time is daily to be seen (my first week was between two and 3 hours wait each day)
Good luck with the treatment , it just drags on a bit and having to go 5 days weekly is a pain but thats the way it is. Lucky for you there is some public holidays coming up that you will be able to escape from treatment and enjoy your self over Christmas.
Good luck with everything . cheers Jo xx
