Radiation can be a quick or longer portion of your treatment. When it is targeted, it zeros in on the tumor or former tumor site to make sure all of those cancer cells are destroyed! When it is a full site treatment, as I had, it covers the entire breast and a little around it. Since the skin is tender, it is more susceptible to irritation or burns similar to a sunburn. This lust includes things that proved to be a help - and my sensitive skin did burn, so here’s how to help your treatment be as comfortable as possible! 💞

There are some really special beaches near Charleston! ⛱️ My husband and I, and then my family, have been discovering them for over 30 years - and I’m happy to share all we’ve learned and keep finding with you!

In the fight of your life, these are things that can help to make chemo more comfortable. 💝 I have shared things that were shared with me, along with comfort items that I’ve discovered since going through chemo. 💞 The best way to feel prepared is to plan ahead and have things you might need - just in case. Better to have them and not need them, and just pass them on, rather than not have something you wish you did! 🥰 I hope these will be a blessing to you the way they have been to me! 💖

It’s one of the biggest hurdles to tackle - the thought of losing our hair. 🩷 It’s absolutely more than fair to feel this way. Our hair is such a part of who we are and how we present ourselves - our sense of style, our personality. This list includes things that made this chapter of the story a little easier for me, and I hope they will help you, too. 💞 The page will turn sooner than you think it will! Try to find the silver lining and maybe even a little joy in each stage of your hair as it comes back, too! 💖
