Radiotherapy week four and Herceptin 7

Well this week I entered week four feeling very tired as I had worked the weekend. Big mistake! By Wednesday I was teary tired and asked the doctor for a med cert so I have had Thursday and Friday off and feel better. This week I have had my five rads and in three days saw the following: Nurse, Physio., GP, Herceptin, Dietitcian, Radiation Oncologoist. I have started to get the sunburnt look which I'm religiously moisturising and a sore inner upper arm. Physio advised me even with a sentinel node biopsy there can still be tightening in the armpit/arm occur from radiotherapy. I'm on day three of no bra and it still feels like I'm flashing the headlights (if you know what I mean!) Cheryle:) PS there's been good hair growth too!
