Hi everyone.
hope your doing ok.
well week 4 started badly for me as I ended up in hospital overnight on Saturday due to infection. Came home on Sunday evening with stronger antibiotics which then really didn’t agree with my stomach so I was advised to use co-codomal to help with it.
so feeling more tired this week and not feeling much like eating so just nibbling really . Skin wise, my skin is starting to peel and is painful to walk at times so I was prescribed Flamigel RT today so fingers crossed it helps a bit.
other than the above I’m counting the days now to treatment stops so the body can start to heal.

You're doing great. I won't lie - the last week and a half was a slog, feeling uncomfortable and tired. But I'm two and a half weeks out the other side and I'm pretty much back to normal - off out for dinner with 'the girls'tonight :-). My skin is all healed now. My tip is to move to sudacrem as soon as your treatment finishes, providing your skin isn't broken. It works a dream on peeling and itching skin but not sure how it would do on weeping wounds.
You've got this! x
