Hi ShelyT,ive just read your post about Radiotherapy that your  undergoing now ,as you posted  it quitw a feq weeks ago. I do hope that like me ,when i first had my first dose ( i had 3 weeka =15) i was surprised to find  it was better than id imagined ir to be, i didnt feel any discomfort. By the 8/9th i did get a bit od sore red skin,bur only like mils.sunburn . I was told to use E45 cream on thw effected skin,whuch really helped. I did get a but tired from tine to time,but it was ni way near what id imaguned ir to be like,,it wasnt half as bad as i thought  oh and i forgir to say about the tattoes that they want you to have,to make it easier to line you up each time yoy have the Radiotherapy,i disnr wanr them ,but i agreed to have just one which was placed at the side if my right underarm,so it isnt noticible,indidnt want those tiny dot tattoes as a permanent reminder. They hust used a oen and tape,on  my skin   where they were going to place the other tattoes. I do hopw you are doing well ,ans like me,you didnt find it as bad as you had imagined ir to be  

Thank you for replying, I finished my radiotherapy and found it wasn't so bad either.im abit sore in the breast area but I'm putting cream on everyday.i have found my right shoulder and arm have been paining me though I.hoping that will stop in time.i do get abit tired,I push past that though.Can I ask have your fingers nails been effected the reason I ask because one of my nails has sunken in and my other finger nails have ridges in them and dont feel smooth any more.Have you also found your breast has sunken in.thank you for the feed back it's very helpful kind regards shelly x

Yes i  di have very weak nauls now ans di gave ridges   My right breast dies have a slight dio in it ,at the vittim edge,but its  nor  that noticeable  considering  that they mives breat tissue.around to fill in the gap,where cancer tumour was removed. My right arm pit looks worse ,wherw i had all my lympthnodes  removed as cancer had spread to them, it loojs quite hollow  under mt armpit,as.quite a lot of tissue.was removed.

Take care ans im always here uf you need to chat  about anyrhing ,its food to tallk to peiple who have been or are going through simular health issues ..
