Radiation Side Effects

I'm now well into radiation (about 23/33) and the promised side effects have now appeared! They really seemed to come up quickly over the last few days. The skin of the treated areas is red/blackish brown, like a really bad sunburn. My underarm is particularly painful! All I can do is apply sorbelene several times a day and wait for it to go away, in a month or so... I'm also really tired. Other than that, all good :) The lumps on my neck seem to be going down, which is good, hopefully the other ones that I can't feel are being successfully zapped too!

I have booked a trip to the USA with Hubby for when radiation has finished, so really looking forward to that! Will be ticking a few more things off the life list - LA to Vegas in a convertible and New York :)
