The truth is that I still don't really seem to be having any side effects from radiation and I'm now over half way through treatment. The tingling and discoloration I noticed a couple of weeks ago may have been more to do with the bra I was wearing at the time. And while I am pretty tired, I suspect that's the result of burning the candle at both ends. I could test that theory by working minimal hours and curtailing all social activity....but its the holidays and that would be boring.
Of course, this time next week I'll probably be complaining of agonizing breast burn and chronic fatigue. But until then......

You know, I didn't have any effects from the radiation (other than the desired tumor shrinkage and relief of pain in my hip - glorious!). But everyone is different. But maybe you'll be like me on this...I hope so.
It's nice to not feel awful all the time -- I don't think I realized how bad I felt until the chemo was over and I had energy again. Of course, now there are new traumas...erg.
Happy Holidays, Bex! Let me know when your party is - hopefully I will have a voice this time!
Not working is certainly not boring.
Glad to hear you're kicking some side effect ass.
