71. Sending many prayers and hugs your way!
Fri Nov 4, 2022, 08:30 PM
Nov 2022

Today marks my 1 yr anniversary of finishing chemo. My year anniversary for Rads won’t be until February. I would recommend asking your doc if you would do well to have an antidiarrheal med on hand as well as something that helps with constipation. I needed both at various times during the course of 28 treatments. On my skin, I used Aquaphor and had very little burn or peeling.

Sending prayers for the very best outcome for you!
