hello. I finished rads in october, 2014. Recently I have had a persistent itchiness on my back on the radiated side... do you think it's because of rads?

    Yes I do. I was burnt to a crisp. I had bleeding sores on my chest by the 4th week. I was also burnt straight through to my back, wound up weirdly tan in a block of color on my back on that side. I am frequently itchy on that side only on my back. Their burned me in spring 2013. I don't think it goes back to normal. Worries me as I cannot keep an eye on the area.

    scares me a little bit. my RO released me after my one year follow up; said I looked great. I wonder if I should go see her. I guess if I'm wondering then I probably should....

    thanks!
