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.

- BC is not what you want as a way of career development but good for you! I'm sure that being on both sides of the fence is going to make you a much better therapist so congratulations on the promotion!
I'm sorry to hear that you've got some skin problems. Hopefully, they heal quickly. Enjoy the conference and the fact that you've finished treatment!!!!!! - Congrats on both fronts, @JoeyLiz .... terrific about the promotion - and the rads is over ..... so well done! Enjoy your conference - your story (coming from one of their own) will be all the more credible & you'll be able to pass on a wealth of knowledge & understanding 'from the other side' xxx

Congratulations on your promotion , well deserved what with being a therapist and a patient , no one could have more credentials surely :D :D :D . XXXX
