Finished my radiation today [View all]

The skin is looking good...of course, there is soreness, but the area is dry and I think it'll heal nicely.
I ordered more My Girls cream; that stuff is wonderful!
I just have my Herceptin treatments to get through (7 more), and then on to the big finish: port out and a bright shiny new booby prize.
There will probably be more unforeseen complications, but it appears that the worst is past.
