Healing..

Well the 8 days that followed the end of my daily treatments were by far the most difficult of this whole radiation chapter. The entire area opened to oozing, raw sores that could have easily gotten infected. A week after I called the hospital in tears begging for them to give me something to prevent the yellow/green oozing and to stop it from drying and sticking to my clothes. Then I would rip it off and it would start to ooze and bleed. It was terrible! They told me there wasn't anything else...just hang in there.

I am happy to report that I am much better now. The past week has found new skin forming over the burns and dry irritated skin. I can take that much better! I can now bear to have clothing around my waist band and I feel like a new person! Yea!

The fatigue still plagues me but I see small improvements from day to day. I try not to forget that they say it could take a couple of months to get back to normal so I am trying to allow myself the room for recovery.

I have an appointment next on the 8th @11 am. Scott will come with me to help sort through all of the facts and unanswered questions. My brain seems to check out after so much input and it is often not stellar news!!

Prayers are needed to help me kick this thing in the tail! This HAS to work!
