Thank you all for your lovely comments.

I have now completed 11 radiation treatments. Skin is still red and itchy, but the creams help. I was advised to keep it in the fridge by the radiation tech. Putting it on cold is helpful. I have 5 more full breast radiation treatments and 4 boost treatments directed only at the tumor bed.

When this is finished I will only have to attend the Herceptin treatments, every 3 weeks until August.

I feel like I'm at the 15 km mark in a half marathon, 6 more km to go and my hip is nagging me to quit. There is no quit and I always finish the race. I'm almost finished this race.
