Kpitzer02... sorry to hear all these troubles. Sometimes when it rains, it pours. But you sound like a fighter and survivor! I survived breast cancer twice back in the dark ages of treatment resulting in maximum radiation treastments and bilateral mastectomy with nipple recon that didn't work. But I am very alive and kickin'! It's wonderful you posted something of value to others. May this gesture help you feel better too. I had a lot go on, but never neuropathy. I had a little lymphodema in one arm and a good friend was a massage ther...

I had 28 radiation treatments at Menorah, and by the end, my skin was dark red, painful and peeling. The technicians told me about a product that could help heal radiation burns—Aquaphor Body Spray. It was a game changer. Before, I was using Radiation Relief cream, which I bought on Amazon, but the spray was much easier and quicker to apply. It feels like spray-on sunscreen. You can buy it on Amazon or at CVS. After about a week of using it, my skin is still red but is healing quickly.

Here's the deal - you've gone through a lot and yet you still have to function. I had a double mastectomy, not kemo/radiation, just Tamoxifen and I'm so tired at 2pm I could crash every day! But oh yeah, there's work and kids, and life. I went to my doctor recently and explained how hard the fatigue is on me! She suggested having my bloodwork done and assumed that I may have Vitamin D deficiency among other things. She was totally right! Take 5,000mg of Vitamin D every day- does a world of difference!
