Re: Booster Radiation and Tiredness/cealy

I did get in today, just a little late with the ice. Doc wasnt in

either, but I will see her Wednesday. I spoke with the Oncology

Nurse, she said its normal. That alot is also the stress and

everything along with it. Mine is the same way most days, I do

something then, WAM I have to lie down and go to sleep. This weekend

she said it was just that I needed to slow down and my body telling

me to. I dont feel as bad today, I do need to nap however.

I can not say that my breast feel weird. Sunburned a little with

nipple pain off and on more so now with the booster. Funny thing, no

hair under that armpit as much. Nothing with the shoulder, just

shooting pains in the breast area on occasion. All and all not so bad

really compared to what I expected. Just cant stand this tired

feeling is all.

Thanks for answering me back

> Hi Char,

> Yep, I'm tired, too. It's such a weary sort of tired and sleep

doesn't seem to help much. I also had two boosters last week and

have four to go this week. I don't think I'm quite as tired as it

sounds like you are, but I don't think yours is abnormal by the

sounds of it. Mine comes and goes...I can be washing dishes or

something and suddenly feel like I can't keep my eyes open, but I am

awake most of the day, are you? I do take a pretty good nap in the

middle of the day and then pretty early in the evening I start having

trouble keeping my eyes open...

> Does your breast feel wierd to you? Besides my skin in my armpit

being tender the flesh in my breast feels (not to touch but in my

head if that makes any sense) like its tight and sometimes almost

like its buzzing. And my shoulder keeps locking up on me - have any

wierd things like that going on? I'm always worrying over the odd

things, once someone else tells me its okay, I relax....

> I lucked out with the ice here in Illinois, it was looking pretty

spooky there for a while, everything was covered with a half inch

layer of ice and we were suppose to get more but it warmed up and

rained instead and washed the ice away. Although part of me doesn't

really want to go the smart part is glad I get to finish this week.

Hope you don't have any trouble getting there and that someone is

driving you there as tired as you sound. Looks like I'm out of time

for now, gotta go to my treatment. We're almost done!!! Yeah!!!!
