AWAKE.........

Does anyone know when all the red itchy rash goes away - side effect of radiotherapy ?  I have a telephone appt with Oncology staff in one week. Currently 1.5 weeks after radiotherapy ended but this started up on 4th day of it.

Mine has calmed down a bit to look at but oh so itchy and hard not to scratch. they told me to get some 1% hydrocortisone cream for that so applying sparingly. its only a week today since I finished rads so keeping going but just don't feel comfy x

Oh yes moomy thank you!xx

LondonLass hope jab goes well .  Years ago god unrelated reason I had to have daily jabs .  I carried drugs and took them to my GP surgery nurse.  Older generation nurse who filled up her big, scary glass syringe and popped it in my backside .  Quick and painless .  On weekends I had to go to hospital ward and they always gave the job to trainee as I was considered a well patient so ok for training. She wasn't qualified to do backside so had to go in my leg.  It was painful, it bruised and bled every time .  In the end I complained and was basically told they were doing GP surgery job so be glad.  Actually I was under hospital consultant but they only had clinic 1 day a week so GP doing hospital job.  Thankfully they changed meds so I could do jabs myself.  I know needles a little thing but most people still have sense of dread about them.  

Tired Minion. So exciting have a decent night sleep xx

Hi All

my granddaughter decided to splurge on a London hair salon ,she normally waits til she back in n North to see her usual hairdresser . You don't want to know the cost but I can't believe The  difference . She went to a curly hair specialist 

Before , after being brushed out to an inch of its life.

After two  hours

They do each strand individually 

So funny !!!!!

Absolutely beautiful hair.

I am now 5 weeks post radio therapy. It was really sore and itchy, probably peaked about 10 days after the finish.  It is still red but not itchy anymore.  Still a bit of peeling and the dark brown is fading. Still sore to press on though. 

Wow that is stunningNortherner But yes, you want to gulp at the prices in London! I had a present of a style for my 21st from a lovely friend and gasped at the price!
