It's Friday, which means that my radiation is almost halfway done. Pam, my pain specialist, returned my call today and I finally got to talk to her after a week of telephone tag. The patches she gave me have not been working very well. At first there was a lot of problem with sticking and falling off, but this last time I decided to try a new spot, high on my chest, almost my shoulder. Well, it stuck finally, but I developed contact dermatitis. So, Pam immediately decided it isn't going to work and has me going right back to the old methods. So, we can't say we didn't try. Now, I need to find someone close enough that I can give the leftover patches to. I am not sure about mailing them, but I will if I can't find someone local that I can just give them to. Please contact me (regular e-mail is probably best) if you can use them. They are the generics from Mylan.
The radiation is going pretty well, I feel like there is a little sunburn, but it is not visible on my skin, So I think it is OK so far. The three hour hole it knocks out of each day isn't so great.
Have a great weekend, everyone!
