Today was my first regular day of radiation. It was so quick! It took about 3 minutes to get into the right position on the table, then the radiation began. I had time to breathe in and out 6 times, repeating my phrase, "I'm loved, I'm healed, I'm protected" only twice, then I was done!
I picked up a bottle of something from my naturopath to spray on my breast each time after radiation. It's made of aloe vera, calendula, lavender, and a few other things. It's supposed to help prevent burning. I'm also using emu oil. My breast hurts again on the inside- sort of a deep throbbing. But so far the skin is ok.
I cut my nails today and pulled chunks of dead skin out from underneath them. Pretty gross, but they don't stink anymore and I can feel the healthy nail growing and pushing the dead nail out.
My chemo cough is gone! And my tongue is no longer numb (it was numb after my surgery, probably because I bit it).
I'm exhausted and on the couch, but my mood is way better than it was this morning. I had acupuncture yesterday and she did something for the hot flashes, but said it could take a few days to work. I'm hopeful that tonight will be a better sleeping night for me.
2 down, 31 to go.
