It was long today, once again they had to take some pictures to ensure that the correct area was being treated and I was left in the room raised very high for quite some time as they checked. I had begun to worry a bit as it was so long. I'm beginning to feel the rays I think, or something on my skin on the second point of radiotherapy on my side, it's stiff and sore.
I saw the doctor today and she firstly suggested I change my bra to a cotton one with no padding - not so pretty (well hell, it's only a Genie bra, like a sports bra so it's not exactly pretty, how unpretty can you get?) but more comfortable apparently. I'll have to find one somewhere. And she told me I have 1st degree burns on my side, under my arm, on my lymphedema scar and covering the left hand side of my breast. It is beginning to be painful and I was forced to put the cream on as soon as I got home and change into my pjamas which are loose.
This is not good with 3 weeks to go, I could end up with quite nasty burns if it keeps going this way:-(
Today I'm grateful to GG the taxi driver for telling me a funny story that made me laugh loudly and to the vietnamese manipulator who tried her rusty English on me.
