Did I mention, I am still tired? I don't know if it is the weather or healing.

My skin is healing on my boob. I still have the lymphedema. My feet are off and on with the weird pain, my legs still hurt but the big thing now is the calf pain. I have had it twice, I have to observe it because of the tamoxifen side effects. Otherwise, I am on the mend.

Today I suffer. My last radiation was Wednesday and I had burns then. My burns have spread on my skin, they are open and raw and they hurt. My nipple is peeling, my armpit is swollen and raw. It's bad but it will get better. Using sulfur cream. I go back next week for follow-up and check-up. This condition isn't a surprise, it is a side effect so it was expected. It happened in the last week of radiation. I am glad I don't have to lay on the zap table anymore :-). The team at the hospital gave me a distinguished patient award and hugs all around. They are awesome.
