Rhandom Schittshowe Cancer Journey: 2024-12-04: Radiation Burns and Hair

Blog Entries
By the end of my radiation treatments my chest skin was getting some redness, irritation and mild sores. Apparently that continues to progress for about two weeks after. Yesterday I filled the Rx for cream if my skin starts to peel, which it did. It's been quite itchy, sore and irritated. It's the worst at the top of the area formerly known as my cleavage, and my armpit. I think it's because the skin in those places is 'normal'. Most of the radiation area is still numb from my surgery.\n

The hair on my head has started coming back in. Some of the hair in other places is as well, although my sparse eyebrows are still sparse and I think my nose hair hasn't yet started coming back in.
