Radiation side effects

I was just talking to Marta on the phone and told her...."put the cream on...". And yes because I did not think the burn that I have got on my armpit was going to be as bad as it is.
Everything started three days before the end of radiation, the area was getting really red and by the end of radiation the skin was peeling and the under skin was exposed. By Saturday I could not move my arm without being in agony, I had to call the Radiation department which I was really happy to have my doctor Dr Wang on call that weekend. He called me in one minute and told me that unfortunately if the area was not infected there was no much I could do apart from putting lots of cream. At this point all the creams were making the area worst so I could only was Aquaphor that I hate as it is very oily. What I have been using that has been very helpful was Domeboro solution and triple antibiotic cream and Advil. Today is much darker and better but still a pain as you can not dress as quick as you would like to...

I went to see him on Tuesday and he told me it did not look as bad as I told him!, I looked at him like...are you joking?. He thinks is not too bad. Now it is darker but still looks really sensitive and it is painful but not as much as previous days..

So....message to the ones doing Radiation and the ones that have to do it...Lots of cream, as many times a day as you can...
