    Hello, we know what we feel! I'm glad I'm not the only one!! With the weekend off, I'm hoping the soreness will go away and I'll see if it picks up again monday. Keep me posted on how you feel too!!

    I was told only to be able to lie on my back with arms over my head. It's going to depend on our situations and the radiation oncologist's equipment and protocol. This is a great question to ask if your flexibility is limited so you can stretch/practice beforehand!

    My ROs nurse told me on the last day I wouldn't need deodorant on the rad side, the sweat glands had been destroyed. She was right. Weird thing is, I don't sweat on the other side either. Must have been destroyed from bmx. One less thing to buy/do.

    I seen my Radiation Dr. on Monday. Just a consult. He told me my oncotype dx result was a 7. I left his office and called my surgeon... Nurse said the same result, I asked what it meant and she said No Chemo.! 

    I am so worried, because he said I would have to lie on table and  put my arms above my head, I still cant do that... and I cant lie flat yet. I am really worried about it.
