Week 2 done!

Yesterday I finished my 10th radiation treatment. 23 to go! My skin is pink but not uncomfortable. Using lots of Aloe Vera & cream. This week they started using the electron beam along the center of my chest to zap cancer cells potentially lingering in my internal mammary lymph nodes. The photon beam is used for my chest wall and arm pit area.

In case you have failed to notice pink everywhere......it's officially National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Tomorrow I will walk the 5K at the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure in downtown Phoenix. Take good care of yourself and get them checked! Love, srb
