Officially 30 radiations completed and 3 more to go. It is almost unreal that after Wednesday I will have completed all 33 radiation treatments. The last couple of weeks have been harder in this round of treatments. I have been more tired, but also I have had more pain with my skin being sore. However, the alternating tylenol and ibuprofen have helped a lot along with 98% aloe vera, neosporen+ cream, and Aquafor. Thursday I noticed that the first sore and very red places are now beginning to heal. That was encouraging also.
I have postponed my last lymphedema session until December. It was really getting to me with the pain and the sleeve. My therapist agreed that I needed to get through these last weeks of radiation and heal before we continue, especially since my swelling isn't too bad. I continue to do the lymph massage and that seems to keep it doing well.
