Did anyone have blisters that at first seemed good but then started bleeding?  This is on top of my radiated boobie.  I had two small blisters last week--hurt like the dickens when they popped but seemed to be healing fine.  This morning I woke up with spots of blood on my t-shirt.  I have to think the t-shirt rubbed the healing blister in the night.

I go in to start boosts today and I am wondering if this is going to delay stuff. 

UPDATE:  When I went to Zapland today they looked closely at the blister and everything else as well.  It was determined that since the blister [as well as the worst of the peeling] was well outside the field because I was going into boostland, I could continue as scheduled.  I have been instructed to keep aquafor on it and continue with my regular treatment.

I confess, I am glad.  I didn't want to have to delay.

    When my skin started getting bad the doctor prescribed silverdine and I had to wait about 10 days for it to heal before I started radiation again.

    YARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.  Thanks Iluistro152, thats what I was afraid of. Cry

    The thing is that the ZapTechs have been telling me my skin has been really good, all things considered.   Oh I've got the typical sore part under my arm where the skin is really tight and I did have those two small blisters but I haven't had half the problems that some people seem to report.  Today I noticed there now seems to be a bit of peeling but really light and mostly noticeable in the shower under the water, not that sheets of dead skin that I used to get when I got sunburned.

    Nothing to do but hope for the best, I guess!
