Day 1 today....I wasn't expecting any type of symtoms for a few weeks. I could feel the slight "burn" by the time I got to my car, now hours later...its noticable for sure. Its not in my head! lol

Is this normal? I am super pale...I was concerned anyways but being the first day...ya

    After my first two treatments, I felt like my breasts were "hot" inside. Like they were microwaved, seriously. I was told it was too early for side effects, but I know what I felt. Maybe it was in my head, I don't know. It went away. I also had initial swelling the first week that went away. Then the actual burn settled in around week 3 (or so, maybe earlier I can't remember).
