I had my last radiation treatment today and rang the bell. I'm Done! Skin is holding up pretty well, just a little pink. Breast hurts but not bad enough to even need ibuprofen. Check out Expressions Gallery for photo with bell.

    So happy for you!

    You are so lucky that your skin didn't get burned.  I really was burned although it wasn't unbearable.  I just kept the Aquaphor and plenty of ice packs handy.  I was so happy to be finished with the daily treks, via subway and walking, to the hospita, that I felt like jumping for joy.  I know you must be feeling the same way.
