I've been doing the compresses since December to help control future swelling.<BR/><BR/>I'm finished with the node therapy so the focus is just on my tumor site now. No more laser beams on the sore spots, not that it makes a difference right now.<BR/><BR/>Sheri, thanks for the props. This doesn't happen to everyone. Just remember to follow the radiation oncologist's instructions to the letter.<BR/><BR/>Hugs to you both,<BR/>SharonS. F.

Yikers and damnation!<BR/><BR/>Ask the Radiation Onc if you can stop for a few days. I've read that other ladies have had to do this because of the severity of their burns. Here's an excerpt from this article:<BR/>http://www.radiologyinfo.org/en/pdf/breastcancer.pdf<BR/><BR/><I>When treatment must be interrupted, the skin usually heals enough to allow radiation to be resumed in five to seven days. Skin reactions usually heal completely within a few weeks of completing radiotherapy.</I><BR/><BR/>Many ladies on "No Surrender Breast Cancer Help" speak of having great success with Biafene RE cream. It was developed by the US Army. Others mention using Silvadene. Are you using any of these?<BR/><BR/>Your entry about your little one was so sad. (I read it real quick on a break today at work) I hope she made it through the day!<BR/><BR/>Big hugs to you!!<BR/><BR/>ReneeReneehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06827641133321770183noreply@blogger.com
