Re: Radiation Complete!!!!!

Its all good. Let the healing begin! It will take even less for the "purple" to go away. I burned bad and felt sooo much better in just a week. You will too. Congratulations.

Re: Radiation Complete!!!!!

Vicky,
I am thrilled to hear you have rads behind you now. Yeah! Now that you don't have to run out the door every day you won't know what to do with yourself. lol (Kidding of course.) It's nice that you were cooked "just right"...so much better then over done. Big congratulations--now plan a little fun time for you...I think you have earned it.
