Preparation for Boosts

Yesterday after my 20th treatment, I had to be marked for my boosts which should start week after next. The technician put clear tape over the markings so they wouldn't rub off ... needed to have them in place until today for the radiation therapists to take x-rays.

Long story short ... when I took off the tape today ... for one horrifying moment I thought I had ripped my skin off! It was painful and the tape had left a film of glue that was lifting up and it looked like peeling skin! Thankfully, it wasn't but I am allergic to whatever that tape was because I have neat little bumps that are itching like the devil. I have worked emu oil into my skin and am keeping my fingers crossed that the "miracle" oil will fix everything.

I have not forgotten that today is my 21st treatment!
