My radiation burn at it's worst

OK, Here ya go! This one is for Pink & Plaid Warrior!  I believe we took this 3 days after my final nuking. After you stop, it will still get worse before it gets better. How amazing is that it didn't hurt. It was disgusting, but just numb from surgery. That was definitely my silver lining with radiation last spring! Ladies, I can't emphasize enough about the creams, and having your nurses look at it often when it starts to get red. Try and get the same nurse every time when possible, so you will both be familiar with the site. Note- this may come in very handy for dealing with allergic reaction type issues at some point in time. Better to have the same eyes comparing things sometimes. Put a liberal amount on EVERY time you get dressed to leave. Put another coat on at home when you think about it. Your nurse will know when to switch your cream, as you get closer to the end and start to burn. These creams are the best thing to keep you from burning too bad, and then for healing. I'll be curious to see what Pink & Plaids Nurse replaces  the sulfa stuff with? I believe my liberal use, under my nurses eye- is what staved off the worst of the burning until the last week. It did not bubble till the last week. Only a couple broke before the end. Thank god  it didn't start weeping till I was done...and could weep  at home in peace! Jk- just kidding, hehe couldn't help myself tonight. Ativan says shut this puppy down! It was yucky for a few days, and most of it peeled by the end. I was quite happy to not wear a bra for a couple of weeks. Good night, want to get my book work done early tomorrow, so I can do b-day stuff later. Might not get much time on Friday before I start crashing! Ciao!
