It BBBUUURRRRRRRRRRRNNSS

Now, imagine the famous scene from The Exorcist, where Father Whatever sprinkles holy water on a diabolic Linda Blair, and she says, in a deep, freaky voice: "it burrrrrrrnnnnnnnnsssss". That is how I feel. My boob burns all over. It hurts and today I started to feel little yet persistent needles. No time to complain. I have to go, right now, for another session of burning radiation.

Blisters and redness... OUCH!

Two weeks of radiation are starting to show their impact. My boob hurts by only looking at it, it itches, it is red and it is developing little blisters. No under-wire bras, no tight clothing, no synthetic fabrics... No deodorant, no moisturizer, no nothing. No scrubbing in the shower, no lying on my left side. NO TOUCHING, please! OUCH!

CLEAN!!!! And radiated...

It is OFFICIAL!! 100% The blood tests are clean as well. No traces of the meano... No more Gremlins living in my boob. YAY!!!! Today I went for the first radiotherapy session. They made scans and images, to get a perfectly defined three dimensional area where the radio will hit. Then, they tattooed four little dots on the heroic boob, to make sure they get the same area each time. The procedure itself only lasts 10 minutes. And that is what I will be doing for the next six weeks, every day, at 4.30. Today it was uneventful, but supposedly you get tired as you start accumulating radiation, and the skin burns... We shall wait and see. Meanwhile, it already feels distinctly like an exit road. We are so happy! I can't believe it, but we are joking all day long, smiling, laughing, and it feels like a whole new beginning. Gabo is in excellent mood, and we are enjoying ourselves fantastically!
