Almost done

Finished the last of 28 rads today, 6 boosts to go. My skin is really not doing well but as the radiation nurse told me it's not scarey. I have a little bit of weeping in the breast fold and some peeling mostly on the bottom, and pretty much the whole area, including my armpit is dark pink. So far not too much trouble with fatigue except that I've had a bad cold since last weekend. Not sure if right now I feel crappy because of the rads or the cold. Probably both. I'll be completely done next Friday and then I can heal. Phew, almost over. I have to say, the toughest part of this whole thing for me has been the rads. Since I'm so pink already will the boosts cause me more problems? My incision is at about 10:00 on my breast and I imagine the cancer bed is very close to it so luckily the boosts won't be on the bottom part of my breast where most of the peeling is.
