Yes - I had blisters. I didn't stop radiation, just took one minute at a time, then one day at a time, then one week at a time. Cotton tops - shirts, tops made out of cotton so as not to get sweaty. Try to focus on other things - if you can get outside and go for a walk, read a book. Don't get me wrong, I had would have a cry in the evening when I was by myself, but for the most part just tried to keep going. Two years following treatment, I had a stroke and moving forward following that as well. Life is not dull, that's for sure.

Today I had blood trickling from these raw burn wounds. Tgey are going to have to lower the dosage or give th wound a break so they can heal, I have had 21 days of radiation if this is what it looks like on the outside can you imagine all the tissue that is burned on the inside. I can%to see how there can be any microscopic cancer cells left.

I salute you, I have always considered myself a strong person,overcame some severe medical issues. I think it is barbaric that western medicine makes people endure burns like that.There has to be a better way. My urns are in my armpit,underarm,side, below my breast. I can’t take a walk, I am I. A wheelchair , it I do get out.The pain is constant, almost third degree burns. I had cellulitis post breast surgery that was to caught for four weeks , the surgeon telling me it was normal healing when it was cellulitis. I have a new surgeon now. You tend to loose trust.my PCPl filinally diagnosed then cellutis. These burns can lead to more cellulitis. I haven’ found the doctors to be vigilant.you have to be your own best advocate. How big was your tumor?
