Done with Radiation

Well, just a quick update regarding the radiation treatment.  Mom is done with her 30 treatments.  We had a follow-up appointment with the doctor this morning. 
We had a minor complication where she developed a small infection on the outside of the breast near the end of her treatments.  Between the infection and the radiation, let's just say that mom looked like a tomato.  She got pretty toasty at the end of her treatment cycle.  She has been on anti-biotics and is looking much better after a few days.
All in all, the doctor was really pleased with how she responded to her treatment.
We will be back to the regular oncologist later this week.

  1. Good that radiation is over and response is positive. Wish you a safe trip to FL. Girls miss your visit to home in GA. Hope to see you guys! Winter is not as cold here in Boston. Best wishes and prayers!
