Tonya

I just want to add that I am thinking about you. Make sure you get Silverdene or any other recommended burn creams you can or pure 100% aloe (Fruit of the Earth is one brand). Ask what you can use. After bathing or showering, give yourself enough time to pat dry and then lay on the bed to air dry well.

Are you still on Herceptin or was that postponed too (just wondering how that all worked out).

You are the first person I know of to get radiation treatment this way so you are bringing alot of knowledge to the board.

Rest well. I know you are taking care of yourself.

Gentle hug for now and a bear hug later
