Two more to go!

I have now had 2 of the 4 boost treatments which means I am down to two more days!!  It hardly seems like it has been that long but it also seems like a very long time.  The boost treatment basically treats just the area where the actual cancerous lesion was removed.  It is still about 3 inches in diameter but not the entire breast being radiated.  They actually make a special plate that slides over the machine window so it can block everything but just that area. So the radiation isn't any stronger, just covering a smaller area.

I also had an appointment with the radiation oncologist again.  We talked about how the skin will continue to change and darken over the next couple weeks even though I will be done with radiation.  She says it actually will look almost black and probably peel. So I am thinking scabby maybe.  I actually have no idea but it makes me want to keep the cream on it even more.  I will come back to see her in April for a follow up and then it will be back to Dr. Pruthi in October and back to my every 6 month appointments for the next 5 years again.  This is a never ending deal I guess. 

Well, I am tired and my treatment is at 8 am tomorrow so I am off to bed.  All take care.  Hugs. 
Love, Patsy
