Consider yourself lucky. My 6 weeks was a living hell. Burnt and all the creams & lotions didn't help. Everyone is different so just be thankful.

well 6 weeks is a long time, mine was only 3 weeks, what a nightmare for you . i was wrongly diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer , and had six months of intense chemotherapy , the strongest yiu can take, "red devil" , but after cells were tested after the mastectomy they were found to be oestrogen positive not triple negative , a " mistake" the doctor thought . so now i need only anti oestrogen tablets . so after chemo , radiation was easy !! after removing 25 lymph nodes , i'm dealing with blockage in arm and chest wall which is annoying after all the treatment , so still ongoing . we all have our own battles . i prefer to dwell on the positives as this treatment is bad enough to go thru . all the best , hope your thru the worst . and recovering well .
