Just finished my rads this past Friday!! Yay! Like Leah said 4 beams just like she said and a "boost" to the scar line the last 5 treatments. I don't have lymphodema yet and I fly for treatment at a cancer hospital out of state. I do wear a sleeve when flying but that's all. I try to avoid things they say trigger it but no problems so far. One doctor told me it's more of a problem if you're not in shape to begin with. If you're your ideal body weight like I am, it tends to be less of an issue.
I am really bad to burn so my treatment left me with red skin like a really bad sunburn. They gave me a perscription for an antibiotic cream should the skin start to break open, but so far it's just peeling a bit just like a sunburn. But my skin held through enough to complete my treatment which surprised me because I have skin that never tans and burns really easily.
