    Well Congrats on NO more radiation.
    Yes that is the cream they pres for me too. It will help you, but takes abit to heal this raw horrible skin.
    I too had pads under neath and had to change them, and when I took them off usually pulled stuff with it YUK.
    But without them it burned and hurts so bad could hardly stand it.
    The sweat under there is salty and just burned bad.
    It took awhile to heal up though.
    And even this summer when I got warm and sweaty I started getting a radiation rash under there, so never gone from side effects.
    Also I got sunburned and my left chest cavity and arm just frozen I had to go to the surgeon again and see what I did.
    They told me when you have radiation never get that site in sun ever again or it goes back to radiation treatment OMG and they meant it. It was horrible could not even left my arm up to curl my hair get a shirt on anything.
    Well hopefully your on the mend now.
    Did you hear the news yesterday regarding mammo's and waiting til after 50?? I about flipped what a horrible mistake. This health care system really stinks.
    Well have a great day and take care

    MANY HUGS TO YOU SORRY ABOUT YOUR AWFUL BURNS. I KNOW IT IS HORRIBLE.
    TRY OATMEAL BATHES I LAYED ON MY STOMACH IN THE TUB AND IT HELPED WHILE I WAS IN THERE ANYWAYS.
    AFTER YOUR RADIATION THEY CAN PRES A CREAM TO HELP YOU, BUT NOT TIL YOUR DONE WITH RADIATION.

    Hi Bertha. Doesn't look like we'll get to the shelter today. My husband is working. He works on computers for Sears and because computers run 24/7 he sometimes has to work 24/7. Wouldn't you know we had so much to do this weekend. He was going to replace my washing machine. It doesn't want to spin out, but we have one in the basement to replace it with so hopefully it will work and we won't have to buy a new one.

    I just got back from our church. My son and I volunteered to lay mulch in the garden. What a wet mess it was. I could only work about 1 1/2 hours. I can still get tired very quick when I'm doing something very physical.

    It was nice your sister took in the cat Oscar. Sounds like he needed a little love and cleaning up.

    No, no word from Carolyn. I check when I'm on DS and send her a note, but she hasn't responded.

    Keep up the good job you're doing with radiation and your broken arm. November is just around the corner.

    Chat with you soon, Chris

    Sending you sunshine for your weekend Bertha. We could really use some here, it has been rainy for several days. So when is your radiation finished? The end must be approaching soon. Thank ou for your kind words. We may go look to adopt a cat this weekend. Our 2nd cat is so lonely with her friend, I feel bad for her. Talk to you soon, Chris

    Bertha, So how is your arm and your radiation treatments? I hope you are feeling well. I haven't been on much lately. I'm trying to catch up. My cat is on my lap right now. We found out this week he is really ill and will have to be laid to sleep tomorrow. We are all very sad. He is our little sweetheart. Take care of yourself and keep in touch. Love, Chris

    Thanks for your kind words, I am really stressed out now about the surgery. I guess it is just nerves. How did the radiation go? It sounds pretty tough to me. I hope that you are healing up.

    Wow, it is amazing that you didn't have much pain from your humerus break, mine is terrible. But, I think that I am unusual since my bone is dying. Maybe that is why it hurts so much. Anyway, I hope that the surgery helps.

    You are definitely a Sweetie! :-)

    Izzy is starting to hide when people come over, but she comes out after a few minutes. I don't have a lot of guests, so she is getting shy.

    I almost got flooded so that was scarey, although, I am fine.

    I am scheduled for another major surgery, I am having a shoulder replacement in 3 weeks, so very upset about that. I am in so much pain that I decided to try the replacment. I hope it helps!

    It is always so nice to hear from you. You are such a sweetie! :-)
