Thank you dearest ! Warning ladies with sensitive skin or psoriasis!
I’m glad I discontinued radiation as some ten years later I’ve only now discovered how brutal this treatment was in me . Not only did I develop lynpadema but I had severe radiation damage to my breast’s clavicle and a rare form of psoriasis that’s chronicly infection with cellulitis!
I’m suffering terribly for years never understood what this skin condition is - a diagnosis of a rare trope of psoriasis and cellulitis has required almost constant monitoring and antibiotics.
I’m relived that light therapy has helped me somewhat but this is a very chronic dieease resulting from just 3 days of radiation!
Ladies with skin conditions like eczema or psoriasis beware . I had stage 4 and had been misdiagnosed at the time of radiation subsequently
I’ve had a brain tumor that was there at time of rads so it wouldn’t have affected outcome it’s too long a story here but I had surgery for that abs steriotactuc rads which worked out perfectly for me I’m Happy thst im
Still here some 10 years later . I use alternative therapy - diet essential oils and reiki which has all helped me be cancer free .
My opinion is that if you’re cancer free after chemo . I think you should think twice what you’re up against with radiation ! Very harmful and very ineffective for me ! 😐
I wish alt the best
