Well despite being done treatment, I am still living with the side effects of radiation. My neck, breast and armpit are pretty discoloured, but my neck is the worst - it is red, peeling/blistering and still hurts. My armpit is brown and peeling but not blistered. I am doing saline soaks 4 times a day and that seems to be helping. It hurts to put anything rough near my neck, so even walking the dog I try to be careful, putting a soft scarf around my neck before I put on my jacket. Can't wait til the skin heals!! It may take a few weeks for the colour to get back to normal.
16 weeks post chemo and my hair is pretty filled in, which makes me happy. No more bald spots. Now I just need it to grow, grow, grow! Maybe with less stress on my body it will pick up the pace.
My skin on Friday - ouch!!!
A bit better today
