Re: Radiation questions??

hi there

anwers to your questions (from my experience)
1. red skin is normal if you are blond/fair - i am olive skinned and just "tanned"
2. I was exhausted my last week of rads, it continued for 2 wks after and then I felt better
3. i didn't have breast swelling, but i hear it is normal

hope this helps
