I am done with rads. 5 1/2 weeks is over. I did not use any creams or lotions. Now I am done. Meaning my skin is dark under my arm and surrounding areas where I was radiated. It looks like I'm cooked to a well done but no itching or any kind of irritation. I've been on tamoxifen for about a week and I go back to the PS in 2 months so he can schedule my exchange surgery. Also, no fatigue at all these 5 1/2 weeks. I'm getting back and track with a new norm. Thanks for all of your hugs and prayers!

    Keep me posted on hair progress. I am really curious how your hair responds to all the changes caused by chemo. KAH
