My radiation treatment is going well. I have been using Eucerin everyday twice a day and an a natural aloe vera gel at night. My skin is little pink but nothing bad. My breast is sore but it was still a little sore from surgery when I started my treatment. My doctor said that is normal and once I'm done with radiation the soreness should start to go away as my body heals. I have only 3 more treatments. I was a little tired at the end of last week but nothing that kept me from doing my regular routine. I'm working from home currently so it makes it easier not to have to worry about getting to work or leaving work for treatment. I have appreciated all the tips from people here and the encouraging words. My radiation therapists have been so amazing and kind so that has me feel more relaxed. The time has actually gone by pretty fast. I would say they even though I was a little worried I found that between the encouragement and advice from people here and my great radiation therapists I put at ease very quickly.
