8th day of radiation. 40 min drive to Oakland every day 1 way, for a 15 minute procedure. Some pain today. Felt stronger than the other times. Skin feels stretchy more. I've put the aloe Vera on it every day but it doesn't take away the skin/chest walls getting tighter. Hurt a bit as I sneezed but took it like a champ. I'm having trouble still sleeping n getting comfortable as I have to elevate my arm above my heart especially when I sleep. I toss n turn n hope my arm doesn't fall asleep when I lay on my side.
I still have gum/nerve pain n dr said floss more. I asked my oncologist for a pet scan, it's my right to have one. Eager to hear his response to my email.
All in all, I'm ready for Xmas. Craving some homemade stuffing n gravy now!!
