Oh hai peeling!

I finished my 4th week of radiation, my skin is not happy. I have reached the peeling stage under my left arm pit and under my left breast. The doctor gave me calendula cream to put on all the burned areas as well as silver sulfadiazine cream on the open areas that are peeling. I can no longer wear an underwire bra because the wire hits in the sensitive skin areas. I have been wearing sports bras... hello uni-boob. I think I have like one or two more treatments where the radiation will hit the areas that are having issues and then they will changing where the radiation hits so it should be getting better.

My hair is growing in nicely. It is still up in the air about the texture because it looks like the back of my head the hair is coming in wavy/curly in parts. The top looks straight though. We shall see as it gets longer.

I am currently looking for a place to buy. With my budget and living in the Bay Area it's slim picking but still possible. I did actually put an offer in on a condo in Hayward (great for my daily commute - 12.5 miles from work, but not so great for my social life - most of my friends are in the South Bay). I was out bid by one person and they asked if I would be the back up incase the other deal does not go through, I agreed. I am still looking. Hoping to find a place not too far from work or my social life.

Radiation Update

I have not posted in a few weeks since starting radiation. Mostly because it's been pretty uneventful. This week though, the redness and irritation has started under my breast and arm pit. The nurse gave me a cream today to use on it. Other then going into radiation everyday, life is pretty normal. I found a dress to wear to my brother's wedding in July. I need to get shoes, a hair accessory, and a crinoline for it. My hair is growing, still really short right now. Soon I may be able to style it... HOPEFULLY in a few more weeks.
