Re: Radiation Advice?
NEDenise...thanks...I teach English and had a scheduled leave that coincided with a lot of my treatment, great luck. I am working now and working on getting more energy, with the Herceptin leading to these cycles (up to feeling great, down to feeling tired and tearful), which will end soon, knock on wood.
During radiation, having to do something every day for so many days was a new challenge for me, to be so scheduled, and I think that the discipline rubbed off a little in some ways (a positive effect). In terms of the radiation, the scar boost may have been more of a challenge to the skin, but it all healed well soon enough; during the rougher times, the dr. gave me neosporin with a painkiller in it as well. I forgot to mention that before.
