OUCH !!!

Almost to the finish line... and... OUCH! On Saturday night I tossed and turned all night long and felt "itchy" and "burning sensations" where I shouldn't be feeling itchy and burning. I got up early, braved the bathroom lights,(those of you who know I hate mornings) and YES I had several RAW skin areas from tape on my "radiation spot". I wanted to cry, and actually did when I got in the shower. It felt like fire instead of cooling water. I called Home Depot, Lowes, Walmart, and several nursery's and NO ONE had aloe plants yet. I called my cousin and she happen to have one, and Rachel had just bought one the day before. I kept all the "weeping" skin areas covered with aloe all day and night. Today I was seen by the nurse and the doctor and they decided to move forward with the radiation, because I am in an important accumulative phase and I too want to just get this over with. I now have only 4 more treatments. I will go tomorrow and then they will decide if I will skip Wed or continue and finish on Thursday. I think I can see the end of the road...it's just sort of curvy. Look out British Virgin Isle's,.... here I come !!!!
