Fully cooked!
Well that's it 6 wks of radiation done. I'm officially fully cooked, must admit it was bittersweet since I have to go there every day anyway but I did get lots of high 5s from my patients today. My Rad Onc also organized a morning tea using her winnings from the World Cup sweep that I organized. Nurses put a new dressing on my collarbone as its gonna break down and go moist but that was a mistake as I was allergic to it and it pretty much peeled my skin off...ouch. tomorrow I'm off to beautiful Freycinet for a conference where I'm presenting about my "journey on the other side" and i have mentioned this forum as 1 of the things that has helped me, so thank you ladies. I admit I'm not a big poster but I check in from time to time and if there are ever any radiation related questions I'm always happy to help.

- Brilliant! Well done. Brave too. Sorry about the peel. Onwards and upwards for you @JoeyLiz! K xox
- @Sister that would be lovely!
- WY to go @joeyliz! Let me know if you make it to Adelaide. Maybe we can catch up for a cuppa!
- Oh sorry ladies forgot to say!
Presentation was received really well! I got lots of comments appreciating my openness. I have been asked to present it to the nuclear medicine department in Hobart and also the nurses in my department. Our monthly magazine wants to do an article on it and I've submitted to present it at our international conference in adelaide next march.
My skin is recovering and by recovering I mean peeling off! I lost the first layer of skin off my areola and nippe despite the mepitel so I have a silver dressing on it.
Hope you are all well xx - Oh yes! Would love to hear @JoeyLiz.
- Yes - I forgot to ask...How did the presentation go?
