Going to get them taken off asoon as treatment is finished. I was worried that my skin would react in a similar way to yours but I've been very lucky so hopefully there shouldn't be too much of a problem. 

That's because you were smart with your skin. I do hope your skin is fine after rad as well.

Are you sure you're ok Sandra?

Where are you Sandraaaa?!

Hi lasses

lol I have been watching back t back dark matter with my daughter nd she turned up to continue! Only 5 more episodes t watch of the 3 seasons.! 

Yes thanks I’m fine:-)

just waiting t b picked up for appt whereI become an affiliated member of the *** tat gang lol.

I’ll let u know how I get on when I get back.

take care me dears :-)x

I'm afraid that swelling is the name of the game for quite awhile. It will get better - when is dependant on activity levels. If I overdo it I swell and pain. Take it easy. Don't do what i do!

Hi ladies

just back home but been out for food nd visiting family. 

So... met oncologist who was lovely. Only new things I learnt were def having 3 wks RT. They don’t do fluorescent tats (could use semi permanent which will fade -  if any residue left can have removed and if I need need any creams they will provide).

I’ve been marked up ( 4 tats - look like pen dots- very small).

My first RT session is on Monday 30th October. I will indeed b finished well before Xmas yeahhh.

I was advised breast may swell and can retain fluid for a few months post RT and breast may remain more firm over RT site. My skin may take on the appearance of mild sunburn. There will b some lung damage but because I have never smoked the effects I feel should b minimal. 

Finally when finished all sessions  it is very common to experience low mood. When things finally slow down you have time to process everything and it is usually then that it hits you. Advised me to join the group that meets once a month at the hospital to talk with others who share similar experiences as this often helps. 

All in all not a bad experience what so ever:-)

hope every one is feeling well

take care
