My "sunburn"......




So far I have had 22 treatments, with just 3 left. This Friday the 22nd will be my last zapping, and it can't come soon enough. I have a pretty bad burn on 3/4 of my chest that runs from my collarbone down to below my ribs, under my arm and part of my back and there are spots of open skin under my arm, that I can only say is "uncomfortable", cause that is putting it nicely:-) There's really nothing that will "help" the burn go away, except time. Next week I am told will be the worst time, even though I won't be having any treatments. I use a pure aloe vera gel , and now I am using aquaphor under my arm on the raw spots.

In the single digits

9 more radiation treatments to go! So far no serious side effects, but I do get nauseas as the days go on. I'm getting a pretty good sunburn, but it recovers a little over the weekend.

My hair is really starting to sprout too. I decided that in 4 weeks, no matter what it looks like, I am going out in public without my top! (aka wig). We have a camping trip planned the first week of June, a bunch of family and friends and kids... so that will be my break in period:-) ! Think I'm going to dye it a funky color first, .... any ideas anyone???

10 Tanning sessions down, 15 to go

So far the radiation treatments aren't that bad. I'm a little pink so far, but nothing major (knock on wood). Getting tired as the day goes on.........that's about it!
