About 'tattoo arm'|Where Can I Buy Tattoo Sleeves








Tattoos               have               always               been               a               popular               form               of               self-expression               for               millions               of               people.

So               it's               no               wonder               that               there               are               so               many               people               walking               around               the               world               sporting               a               new               tattoo               every               day.

Once               you               have               decided               that               it's               time               for               your               first               tattoo,               do               you               know               what               comes               next?

Nope,               not               running               to               the               first               tattoo               parlor               you               find.

There               are               a               few               steps               that               you               should               take               and               things               to               decide               before               the               first               drop               of               ink               touches               your               skin.

Location-               This               may               seem               obvious               to               most               people               but               for               some               it               can               be               a               difficult               decision               to               choose               just               the               right               location               for               their               new               tattoo.

You               will               need               to               decide               if               you               want               your               tattoo               in               a               spot               that               is               hidden               by               clothing               all               the               time               or               if               you               want               it               seen               on               a               regular               basis.

Also               consider               the               path               that               your               career               choice               may               lead               you               down.

If               your               boss               frowns               on               exposed               tattoos               then               you               may               want               to               consider               a               location               that               is               easily               covered               up               by               clothing               or               makeup.
               Design-               The               design               of               your               tattoo               is               toally               and               completely               up               to               you               and               you               alone               but               you               will               want               to               put               some               thought               into               it               before               making               a               permanent               decision.

Try               to               choose               a               design               that               is               meaningful               to               you.

While               you               may               love               the               look               of               that               dragon               or               that               cutesy               kitten,               would               you               want               to               see               it               everyday               for               the               rest               of               yoru               life?

Even               though               you               my               thoroughly               enjoy               a               good               Family               Guy               episode,               it               would               be               a               good               idea               to               rethink               placing               it               permanently               placing               Stewie               on               your               arm.
               Size-               The               size               of               your               tattoo               will               mostly               be               decided               by               the               location               of               your               body               that               you               want               to               place               it               on.

The               size               of               your               budget               will               also               help               determine               the               size               of               your               new               tattoo.

The               bigger               you               go               with               your               design,               the               more               expensive               your               tattoo               will               be.

Also               consider               if               you               want               a               huge,               flashy               tattoo               for               everyone               to               see               or               if               you               are               thinking               about               getting               a               smaller,               more               demure,               tattoo.
               Cost-               As               stated               above,               the               size               of               your               tattoo               will               determine               the               price               of               your               tattoo,               as               well               as               hoe               extravagant               and               colorful               your               tattoo               may               be.

The               more               colors               needed               for               your               tattoo               design,               the               more               ink               that               will               have               to               be               used               and               the               more               your               tattoo               will               cost.

If               you               don't               know               what               kind               of               cost               you               will               be               incurring               then               it's               a               good               idea               to               take               your               tattoo               design               around               to               a               few               tattoo               artists               and               get               a               couple               of               price               quotes               so               you'll               have               an               idea               of               cost.
               Finding               an               Artist-               Finding               the               right               tattoo               artist               for               you               can               feel               like               a               nerve-wrecking               task               if               you               have               never               stepped               foot               into               a               tattoo               parlor               before.

But               don't               let               your               nerves               prevent               you               from               getting               the               tattoo               that               you               want.

The               best               way               to               begin               your               search               is               to               head               straight               to               your               local               phone               book's               yellow               pages.

More               than               likely               there               will               be               several               tattooists               listed               in               the               yellow               pages.

Just               start               with               the               first               one               listed               and               go               down               the               list.
               Call               them               for               their               operating               hours               and               directions,               if               need               be,               and               then               go               for               a               visit.

If               you               already               have               a               design               chosen               for               your               tattoo               then               it               is               a               good               idea               to               take               it               with               you               in               order               to               get               a               more               accurate               price               quote               from               the               tattoo               artist.
               Once               you               get               there               jsut               simply               let               them               know               why               you               are               there               and               get               to               it.

Ask               about               their               price,               ask               to               see               a               portfolio               of               their               work               (all               good               tattooists               should               have               one               available)               and               make               sure               that               their               shop               is               clean.

If               their               shop               looks               like               you               have               stepped               into               a               filthy               car               repair               garage               then               just               turn               around               and               walk               out.

Getting               a               tattoo               needs               to               be               a               sanitary               experience.
               When               you               have               visited               all               of               the               tattoo               parlors               you               should               then               have               a               pretty               good               idea               of               who               you               would               like               to               be               your               tattoo               artist.

Keep               in               mind               that               the               cheapest               is               not               always               the               best.

We               all               would               like               to               save               a               buck               but,               as               someone               told               me,               "You               get               what               you               pay               for".

Meaning               a               cheap               tattoo,               in               price,               could               potentially               end               up               looking               like               a               cheap               tattoo               with               the               wrong               artist.
               Caring               For               Your               New               Tattoo-               After               you               have               finally               gotten               your               new               tattoo,               the               most               important               thing               is               caring               for               that               tattoo               properly.

Your               tattoo               artist               will               be               able               to               suggest               what               he,               or               she,               consider               a               good               routine               to               use.

Most               consist               of               keeping               your               new               tattoo               super               clean               by               washing               it               often,               throughout               the               day,               with               a               soap,               like               Ivory,               and               then               applying               an               ointment,               like               A+D,               to               help               with               healing.

Treat               your               tattoo               like               a               wound               since               it               is               a               wound               to               your               skin.

Do               everything               possible               to               prevent               an               infection.

Your               new               tattoo               will               itch               like               crazy.

DO               NOT               SCRATCH               IT!

Scratching               can               cause               and               infection,               scabbing               and               even               scarring.

All               of               which               can               prevent               your               new               tattoo               from               healing               correctly               and               looking               it's               best.
               In               the               end,               getting               a               tattoo               is               a               huge               responsibility.

No               one               should               ever               feel               pressured               into               getting               a               tattoo.

You               should               never               get               a               tattoo               if               you               are               under               the               influence               of               drugs               and/or               alcohol.

A               tattoo               is               a               lifetime               decision,               and               should               be               treated               as               such,               so               don't               make               it               lightly.

    Start               thinking               of               likely               friends               and               relatives               to               borrow               things               from               and               get               them               together               ahead               of               time.

    These               ten               hints               will               make               your               Halloween               dress               up               costume               or               witch               dress               effort               shine.

    1.

    Tatters
                   Tatters               are               important               in               witch               costumes.

    Witch               costumes               are               supposed               to               be               worn               by               women               who               don't               really               have               laundry               on               their               minds.

    If               they               need               to               appear               beautiful               and               alluring               they               do               a               spell               called               a               glamour               and               appear               as               pretty               and               well               dressed               as               they               like.

    Part               of               the               fearsome               and               "scary"               image               of               the               witch               carried               in               popular               culture               is               due               to               extremes               of               dirt,               decay               and               decrepitude               in               the               witch               dress.
                   Rips               and               tears               along               the               edges               of               a               cape               or               overdress               really               sell               the               witch               dress               concept,               but               they               need               a               contrast               to               make               them               show               up.

    This               can               be               done               by               using               another               layer,               especially               if               the               sleeves,               cape,               or               overskirt               and               underskirt               are               both               black               fabric               but               one               of               them               is               shiny               or               wispy               and               contrasts               texture               in               the               light.

    Ribbon               trim               on               hoods               and               capes               really               makes               the               glamorous               witch               looks               work               too.
                   2.

    Black
                   Fashion               rules               are               witchy.

    You               can't               wear               too               much               black               as               a               witch.

    Every               added               piece               of               material,               every               added               accessory               or               necklace               can               help.

    Each               added               piece               shows               more               black               and               give               more               detail.

    The               contrast               with               silver               jewelry               is               extremely               impactful.

    Gray               blacks               and               silver               blacks               and               inky               blacks               and               shiny               blacks               all               work.

    Nothing               black               cannot               be               used               in               a               witch               dress               costume.

    Wrist               wraps,               head               scarves,               hats,               hoods,               and               capes               in               any               shade               of               black               just               add               visual               flair.
                   3.

    Sayings
                   Magical               incantations               like               "Abracadabra"               and               "See               here,               my               pretty'               go               a               long               way.

    Dressing               up               like               a               witch               is               more               fun               when               you               have               something               to               do               or               say.

    Having               special               spell               words               and               memorized               vocabulary               can               be               good               when               costume               dress               up               prizes               are               at               stake.

    Fashion               Evils

    Witch               dress               costumes               don't               have               to               be               made               of               new               material               because               they               are               meant               to               look               centuries               old.

    For               visual               interest,               beaded               wrist               wraps               and               jewelry               pagan               symbols               can               be               used               as               trim.

                   No               extra               materials               are               actually               required.

    Ink               pens               with               a               little               liquid               adhesive               (notoxic)               or               thinned               glue               mixed               in               will               keep               the               tattoo               strong               during               busy               treat               gathering               sessions.

    Even               a               cat               or               moon               would               look               good,               even               on               the               face!

    Simply               wash               off               when               done.

    Nonblack               Clothing               Options
                   If               for               some               reason               you               can't               dye               material               black,               get               a               garment               together               in               black               or               can't               mess               around               with               dye,               there               is               help.

    Oversized               cloaklike               robes               from               a               parent               or               older               sibling               can               serve               the               purpose               as               well.

    A               witch               with               a               staff               is               to               be               feared.

    For               background,               please               read               previous               portions               of               my               breast               cancer               journal:               Part               I               
                   Part               II               
                   Part               III
                   Day               116               -               January               14,               2010               -               Thursday
                   I               knew               my               hair               would               fall               out.

    I               expected               that.

    I               had               read               all               the               literature               that               came               with               my               breast               cancer               diagnosis.

    But               somehow,               I               hadn't               realized               just               what               that               entailed.
                   What               I               noticed,               just               prior               to               significant               amounts               of               hair               loss,               was               a               tingling               sensation               on               my               scalp               and               heightened               sensitivity               to               touch.

    My               scalp               hurt.
                   But               it               wasn't               just               the               hair               on               my               head               that               was               affected.

    My               eyelashes               and               eyebrows               are               thinning               at               an               alarming               rate,               and               the               small               amount               of               hair               I               had               left               on               top               of               my               head               is               quickly               disappearing.

    With               two               more               chemo               treatments               to               go               before               radiation               begins,               I               can               expect               complete               hair               loss.
                   My               eyes               tear               constantly               as               the               eyelashes               fall.

    I               see               my               eyelashes               thinning               daily               and               it               changes               the               way               I               look.
                   And               so,               for               the               first               time               in               my               life,               I               will               try               to               manipulate               an               eyebrow               pencil               and               I               will               have               to               purchase               eyelashes.

    In               two               weeks,               I'm               supposed               to               fly               to               Virginia               to               visit               my               son.

    How               will               I               walk               through               the               airport               with               my               eyes               watering               so               profusely?
                   Day               121               -               January               19,               2010               -               Tuesday
                   I               sit               in               my               5th               chemo               treatment               as               I               write               this.

    Before               chemo               I               met               with               my               oncologist.

    Something               unusual               is               happening               to               me,               and               though               I               waited               until               today               to               bring               it               up,               it               started               just               prior               to               my               last               chemo               treatment.
                   Having               suffered               from               constipation               my               whole               life,               I'm               used               to               going               weeks               without               elimination.

    Usually,               by               the               time               it               happens,               I               feel               so               relieved               to               finally               be               able               to               go.
                   Not               anymore.

    The               pain               is               so               excruciating,               tears               well               up               in               my               eyes.

    It               feels               like               shards               of               glass               are               scraping               my               rectum               and               ripping               it               to               shreds.

    The               toilet               paper               is               filled               with               blood.

    Dr.

    Johnson               suggested               taking               stool               softeners.

    I               already               take               two               a               day.

    She               said               to               double               it.

    The               nurse,               Deb,               also               suggested               taking               Benefiber.

    I               will               try               both.
                   My               eyelashes               have               become               so               scanty               I               can't               even               wear               mascara               anymore.

    My               eyebrows               are               so               thin,               I've               begun               using               eyebrow               pencil.

    It               bothers               me               more               to               lose               my               eyelashes               than               it               does               to               lose               my               hair.
                   I               had               to               purchase               a               compression               sleeve               today,               because               I               will               be               flying               to               Virginia               to               visit               my               son               and               his               family               who               moved               there               recently               from               San               Diego.

    The               compression               sleeve               will               help               prevent               my               arm               from               getting               lymphedema,               a               problem               that               results               for               many               patients               who               have               had               lumpectomies.

    Air               pressure               has               become               my               enemy.
                   The               woman               who               sold               the               compression               sleeve               to               me               suggested               I               wear               it               for               any               strenuous               activity,               too,               because               she               had               heard               of               lumpectomy               patients               who               had               gotten               lymphedema               after               exercising.

    I               have               to               say               goodbye               to               jacuzzis               too.
                   Day               134               -               February               1,               2010               -               Monday
                   Yesterday               I               awoke               with               lymphedema               in               my               right               hand.

    I               don't               think               it               was               caused               by               the               flight.

    I               wore               my               compression               sleeve               when               I               flew               to               Virginia               to               spend               time               with               my               son               and               his               family.

    Ever               since               my               surgery,               my               hand               has               felt               as               if               a               vein               inside               it,               running               all               the               way               up               to               my               shoulder,               has               been               shortened               and               tightened.

    Bending               my               hand               has               been               painful.
                   The               night               before               yesterday               was               more               painful               than               usual               and               I               rubbed               it               to               relieve               myself               of               the               pain.

    The               following               morning               (yesterday),               I               awoke               with               lymphedema.

    Lymphedema               is               one               of               the               side               effects               of               lymph               node               removal.
                   Massaging               my               hand               may               have               caused               the               lymphedema,               because               massage               may               or               may               not               contribute               to               the               condition,               depending               upon               which               web               site               you               read.

    I               guess               I               should               be               grateful               the               swelling               doesn't               run               all               the               way               up               my               arm.
                   Day               142               -               February               9,               2010               -               Tuesday
                   The               swelling               in               my               hand               went               down.

    I               now               know               not               to               massage               it               or               to               get               a               massage               on               my               right               arm.

    The               swelling               could               have               been               permanent.

    I've               seen               women               with               horrible               cases               of               lymphedema               where               their               arms               and               hands               are               so               swollen               they               can               barely               fit               them               into               sleeves.

    My               hand               is               still               painful,               though,               and               I               wonder               if               the               pain               will               ever               go               away.
                   One               of               my               new               symptom               has               been               bothering               me               a               lot               lately               -               excessive               tearing.

    When               I               walked               through               the               airport,               I               could               barely               see               where               I               was               going.

    I               think               it's               because               as               my               eyelashes               fall               away,               I               have               nothing               to               prevent               irritants               from               entering               my               eyes.

    It               sometimes               becomes               so               excessive               my               entire               face               is               drenched               with               tears.
                   I'm               still               in               Virginia               due               to               a               snow               storm               and               flight               cancellations.

    I               was               supposed               to               have               chemo               today,               but               I               had               to               push               it               to               next               Tuesday.

    It               puts               everything               back               a               week,               but               being               here               gives               me               more               time               to               spend               with               my               son               and               my               grandchildren               while               his               wife               (their               mother)               spends               time               building               a               business               in               Illinois,               so               for               that               I'm               grateful.
                   Day               144               -               February               11,               2010               -               Thursday
                   I               should               have               had               a               chemo               treatment               this               past               Tuesday.

    Today               is               the               best               I've               felt               in               a               long               time.

    I               feel               almost               normal.

    I'm               still               in               Virginia               visiting               my               son,               and               except               for               my               bald               head               and               my               loss               of               eyelashes               and               eyebrows,               nobody               would               suspect               what               these               past               several               months               have               been               like               for               me.

    My               eyes               have               stopped               tearing.

    Hopefully               that               annoying               symptom               won't               return.
                   My               oncologist               is               booked               for               Tuesday,               so               my               chemo               treatment               will               be               Monday               instead.

    I'm               not               looking               forward               to               the               exhaustion.

    Being               here               in               Virginia               has               been               a               really               nice               break.
                   Day               151               -               February               18,               2010               -               Thursday
                   Monday,               February               15th,               marked               the               last               day               of               my               "bad"               chemo               treatments.

    Today               I               am               sluggishly               exhausted.

    My               conversation               with               my               oncologist               was               filled               with               new               insight               into               this               terrible               disease.
                   Constipation               has               always               been               a               problem               for               me,               but               because               of               the               chemo               drugs               and               the               nausea               medicine,               the               problem               has               exacerbated.

    Even               though               I               have               introduced               more               fiber               into               my               diet               and               have               followed               Dr.

    Johnson's               advice               about               relieving               the               constipation,               I               was               frightened               by               the               amount               of               blood               I               found               in               the               toilet               bowl               last               Saturday.
                   She               nodded,               knowing               that               I               was               just               experiencing               another               symptom               that               goes               along               with               the               cancer               drugs.

    The               pain               has               diminished               though,               and               for               that               I               am               grateful.
                   Dr.

    Johnson's               strategy               for               my               continued               care               has               changed.

    Instead               of               temporarily               holding               off               on               the               chemo               during               radiation,               I               will               continue               the               chemo               through               radiation.

    Dr.

    Johnson               said               that               the               radiation               will               be               more               effective               if               I               get               the               chemo               and               radiation               at               the               same               time.

    She               also               warned               me               that               the               radiation               will               make               me               tired.
                   When               am               I               not               tired               lately?
                   The               good               news               is               that               after               about               a               month               or               so,               I               should               see               signs               of               new               hair               growth.

    I               should               get               back               my               eyelashes,               and               I               should               feel               more               energetic               a               couple               of               months               after               the               radiation               is               complete.
                   So               hard               to               believe               that               a               year               ago,               I               knew               nothing               of               what               my               life               would               hold               for               me               now.
                   Day               158               -               February               25,               2010               -               Thursday
                   My               taste               buds               are               almost               working               properly.

    For               several               days               after               chemotherapy,               nothing               tastes               right               and               my               tongue               feels               burnt.

    Today               things               taste               almost               as               they               should.
                   I've               had               a               bout               with               asthma               these               past               couple               of               days,               so               the               energy               I               thought               I               would               be               feeling               again               escapes               me               right               now.

    And               for               the               first               time               probably               since               I               was               an               infant,               I               am               napping               in               the               afternoon.

    While               normally               I               would               berate               myself               for               interrupting               all               of               my               tasks,               I               can               now               take               into               account               that               I               do,               after               all,               have               cancer,               and               when               you               combine               it               with               asthma,               maybe               a               nap               now               and               then               is               OK.
                   Forgiving               myself               for               not               DOING               what               I               feel               I               should               be               doing               is               coming               more               easily               to               me.

    I               just               cannot               do               everything               I               want               to               do               and               I               have               to               remind               myself               that               not               only               am               I               human,               I               am               also               sick.
                   I               hate               to               think               of               myself               that               way               though.

    My               sister               told               me               today               that               as               she               was               reading               my               facebook               messages,               she               realized               that               nobody               would               ever               know               how               sick               I               am               because               what               I'm               writing               seems               so               upbeat.

    For               that               I               am               grateful.

    The               appearance               of               good               health               is               a               positive               affirmation               of               what               is               to               come.
                   Day               165               -               March               4,               2010               -               Thursday
                   Today               was               a               little               disappointing.

    I               expected               that               when               I               saw               the               radiation               oncologist,               my               radiation               schedule               would               be               set               and               I               could               begin               receiving               radiation.

    However,               because               of               where               my               surgery               took               place               (at               the               base               of               my               right               breast               close               to               the               breast               bone               where               the               cancer               was               {yes,               I'm               positively               affirming               that               it's               gone}               located),               special               precautions               have               to               take               place               first.
                   Next               week,               on               the               day               after               I               receive               the               new               chemotherapy               treatment,               which               will               consist               of               Herceptin               only               (technically               not               a               chemotherapy               drug),               I               will               be               getting               a               CT               (computed               tomography)               scan               so               that               the               radiation               oncologist               can               mark               the               spots               that               outline               where               the               radiation               will               go.

    The               markers               will               stay               in               place               for               several               treatments               until               the               radiation               oncologist               is               certain               that               the               markings               are               correct.
                   The               entire               breast               will               be               radiated,               and               the               markers               tell               the               radiologist               where               the               cushions               and               molds               should               be               placed               so               that               every               time               I               go               in,               the               markers,               which               will               eventually               be               tattooed               on               my               skin,               will               remain               the               same.
                   Once               radiation               begins,               I               can               expect               the               number               of               days               I               will               be               radiated               to               be               longer               than               the               originally               anticipated               30               days.

    My               radiation               will               go               for               33               days.
                   I               was               sent               home               with               a               folder               filled               with               information               about               what               I               can               expect               during               radiation.

    Fatigue               is               one               of               the               side               effects,               but               I've               been               dealing               with               fatigue               since               I               began               chemotherapy.

    Another               side               effect,               a               cumulative               side               effect,               is               a               burning               sensation               that               may               result               in               blisters.
                   The               doctor               warned               me               not               to               go               in               the               sun               for               another               year               AFTER               radiation               is               completed.

    According               to               Dr.

    Sapiente,               95%               of               the               sun's               rays               filters               through               clothes,               so               even               though               my               breast               would               be               completely               covered               with               clothing,               I               am               not               protected.
                   (For               more               on               protective               clothing,               read               How               to               Protect               Your               Skin               with               More               Than               Sunscreen)
                   Day               200               -               April               9,               2010               -               Friday
                   Wednesday               marked               the               midway               point               of               my               radiation.

    On               the               day               of               my               CT               scan,               I               was               marked               with               four               tattoos,               each               the               size               of               a               pen               point.

    The               reason               I               was               marked               so               early               in               the               process               was               because               the               marks               had               to               stay               in               place               for               two               weeks               until               my               schedule               was               set               for               radiation.

    For               ten               of               those               days               I               visited               my               son               and               his               family               again               in               Virginia,               so               the               doctor               recommended               tattooing               in               case               the               marks               washed               off.
                   Unfortunately,               the               markings,               once               radiation               began,               proved               to               be               off               their               mark               and               I               had               to               be               tattooed               once               again.

    I               now               have               eight               blue               pen-point               sized               tattoos               to               mark               the               spots               where               the               radiation               is               delivered               each               day.
                   In               addition               to               receiving               radiation               every               day               Monday               through               Friday,               I               will               meet               with               the               radiology               oncologist               once               a               week               (usually               Wednesday).
                   During               radiation,               I               lie               on               top               of               a               mold               that               was               created               especially               for               me.

    The               mold               is               placed               on               a               table               that               sits               below               the               radiation               machine.

    The               radiation               machine               rotates               around               me,               radiating               first               the               far               right               side               of               my               right               breast               under               my               arm               (which               is               raised               above               my               head)               and               then               again               at               about               a               45               degree               angle               (from               my               perspective)               above               my               body               to               my               left               (with               my               arm               still               raised).
                   The               reason               the               machine               has               to               deliver               radiation               at               an               angle               is               because               in               the               initial               phase               of               radiation,               protons               are               being               radiated               into               my               body.

    If               the               radiation               faced               directly               into               the               place               where               the               tumor               originally               resided,               the               organs               and               tissue               directly               beneath               it               (my               lungs               especially               -               due               to               a               history               of               asthma)               would               be               severely               compromised.
                   The               simulation               took               about               45               minutes;               the               radiation               itself               takes               only               a               few               minutes               after               the               radiologist               technicians               line               me               up               using               my               tattoos               to               guide               them.
                   Every               morning               and               every               night               I               apply               a               radiation               gel               to               the               entire               area               that               gets               radiated.

    That               area               includes               a               zone               midway               between               my               breasts               around               to               under               my               arm               close               to               my               back               and               from               about               two               inches               below               my               breast               to               about               an               inch               below               my               collar               bone.

    So               far               I               am               unaffected               by               the               radiation,               except               for               feeling               somewhat               tired.
                   Unlike               the               extreme               exhaustion               I               felt               during               the               initial               six               chemotherapy               treatments,               this               kind               of               tired               requires               me               to               nap               occasionally,               but               when               I               awaken               I               feel               refreshed.

    During               the               "bad"               phase               of               chemotherapy               I               was               completely               exhausted               always.
                   Radiation               treatments               will               continue               throughout               the               month               of               April.

    In               May               I               will               receive               what               is               termed               as               Electron               Boost               Treatments               which               will               continue               until               May               12               when               I               will               have               my               Exit               Exam.

    At               that               point               electrons,               rather               than               protons,               will               be               radiated               into               my               skin,               and               because               their               reach               is               minimal,               the               machine               will               point               directly               at               my               tumor,               head               on.
                   I               have               already               received               one               Herceptin               infusion               during               radiation.

    I               will               receive               another               infusion               of               Herceptin               on               April               20th.

    After               radiation               is               over,               I               will               continue               continue               receiving               Herceptin               through               next               October.
                   Day               220               -               April               29,               2010               -               Thursday
                   The               effects               of               the               radiation               are               beginning               to               bother               me.

    My               skin               is               burnt               and               the               nipple               on               my               right               breast               is               extremely               sensitive.

    My               clothes               hurt               when               I               move.
                   I               have               a               rash               on               my               chest               and               even               the               area               under               my               armpit               that               is               getting               radiated               is               painful.

    Though               I               still               have               no               feeling               in               certain               areas               on               the               back               of               my               arm               and               under               my               arm               (due               to               lymph               node               removal),               the               areas               where               I               can               feel               are               painful.

    Ever               since               the               surgery,               I've               had               a               pain               on               my               right               shoulder               blade               too.

    I               hope               that               disappears               in               time.
                   I               am               using               the               radiation               gel               the               radiology               oncologist               suggested.

    I'm               sure               I               would               be               in               much               worse               shape               if               I               hadn't               been               using               the               gel               day               and               night.

    But               today               was               only               my               27th               treatment.

    With               six               more               treatments               to               go,               I'm               wondering               how               much               more               radiation               my               skin               can               handle.
                   The               good               news               is               that               beginning               in               May,               my               boosts               begin.

    Boosts               radiate               only               the               portion               of               the               breast               where               the               tumor               was               actually               located.

    So               instead               of               the               entire               breast               being               radiated,               only               the               area               where               the               surgery               was               performed               will               be               given               radiation               treatments.
                   Another               positive               effect               of               the               boost               radiation               is               that               where               my               breast               is               going               to               be               radiated               will               be               entirely               free               of               pain               -               I               have               no               feeling               whatsoever               in               that               area.
                   People               have               been               asking               me               what               type               of               breast               cancer               I               have.

    Up               until               now               all               I               knew               was               that               I               had               the               Her-2/Neu               Positive               type,               so               I               asked               Dr.

    Sapiente               what               type               I               had               -               invasive               ductal               carcinoma-Stage               II.

    Cancer               has               five               stages               from               Stage               0               through               Stage               4.
                   Day               234               -               May               13,               2010               -               Thursday
                   I               didn't               realize               until               May               1st,               when               the               boost               portion               of               my               radiation               began               (I               had               to               have               another               simulation               prior               to               the               actual               boost               radiation),               that               the               oncologist               had               expanded               my               treatments               to               36               instead               of               33.

    I               hadn't               counted               the               days,               because               we               skip               weekends.

    So               May               11th               was               my               last               radiation/chemo               combination               treatment.

    Yesterday,               May               12th,               was               the               last               day               of               my               radiation               treatments.
                   During               the               boost               phase               of               the               radiation,               the               radiologist               technicians               attach               a               cone               to               the               radiation               machine.

    At               the               bottom               of               the               cone,               they               insert               a               bolus,               which               was               created               for               me               according               to               the               specifications               they               received               from               the               simulation.

    The               machine               pulls               in               very               close               to               my               breast               and,               to               get               the               proper               alignment,               technicians               draw               (with               a               marker)               an               area               around               the               boost               spot               to               match               the               shape               configured               in               the               bolus.

    When               showering               removes               portions               of               the               drawn-on               area,               the               technicians               re-draw               the               area.
                   Except               for               my               chronic               insomnia,               when               I               am               up               until               3               or               4               in               the               morning               3               to               4               days               a               week,               and               my               ever-present               constipation,               I               manage               to               cope.

    The               nasty               side               effects               of               the               original               chemo               drugs               no               longer               affect               me.

    I               feel               blessed               that               the               area               where               the               boost               was               delivered               is               numb.

    Dr.

    Sapiente,               my               radiation               oncologist,               and               his               nurses               warned               me               that               the               radiation               effects               will               linger               beyond               the               end               of               radiation.

    Fortunately               I               have               no               feeling               in               the               area               where               the               boost               was               delivered.

    If               the               skin               becomes               cracked               or               infected               I               will               feel               no               pain.
                   The               fact               that               I               can't               feel               anything               presents               another               problem,               though,               because               I               have               to               watch               for               infections.

    I               won't               suspect               any               problems               unless               I               look               at               the               area               that               was               radiated.

    Already               my               skin               is               peeling               from               the               proton               form               of               radiation.
                   Dr.

    Sapiente               told               me               to               discontinue               using               the               radiation               gel               and               start               using               a               powerful               moisturizer               like               Eucerin               now               that               radiation               is               over.

    I               am               using               their               Fragrance-Free               "Dry               Skin               Therapy               Plus               Intensive               Repair               Enriched               Lotion."
                   I               mentioned               to               Dr.

    Sapiente               how               uncomfortable               the               lumpectomy               area               is.

    What               was               once               a               4               cm               wide               tumor               is               now               scar               tissue               of               about               the               same               size.

    Because               it               sits               below               my               right               breast               and               because               it               feels               like               a               boulder               pushing               against               my               chest               wall,               I               am               always               uncomfortable               and               always               aware               of               its               presence.

    I               was               hoping               he               would               tell               me               when               that               feeling               would               disappear.

    Sadly,               I               found               out               it               wouldn't.
                   I               can't               lean               forward               or               lie               on               my               back               without               feeling               the               pressure               of               the               scar               tissue.

    It               feels               as               if               somebody               has               placed               a               heavy               rock               on               my               chest               and               wrapped               a               tight               bandage               around               it.

    It's               annoying.

    I               hope               I'll               get               used               to               it.
                   On               a               positive               note,               my               hair               has               begun               to               grow.

    It's               about               a               quarter               of               an               inch               long               right               now.

    I               sill               don't               know               if               it               will               come               in               curly               or               straight,               but               I               can               see               that               it               is               the               same               color               it               always               was,               mostly               white               with               black.

    I               once               referred               to               my               hair               color               as               skunk.

    I               no               longer               refer               to               it               that               way.

    I               have               a               new-found               respect               for               hair               of               any               color.
                   My               Herceptin               infusions               will               continue               every               three               weeks               through               October,               2010.

    I               will               have               to               have               another               mammogram               as               soon               as               my               breast               heals               from               the               radiation.
                   Day               235               -               May               14,               2010               -               Friday
                   Part               IV               of               my               journey               is               complete.

    I               reflect               on               last               May               when               my               mammogram               was               clear.

    I               didn't               notice               the               lump               until               September,               2009.

    I               couldn't               have               waited               another               year               for               a               new               mammogram.
                   During               this               process               I've               met               lots               of               wonderful               people,               from               the               doctors               and               nurses               to               technicians               and               schedulers.

    I've               also               spoken               to               many               patients.
                   What's               interesting               about               radiation               is               that               a               lot               of               the               women               I               met               are               receiving               radiation               because               of               a               suspected               cancerous               tumor.

    Not               everybody               who               receives               radiation               has               cancer,               though               many               of               them               are               considered               to               be               at               Stage               0.

    According               to               breastcancer.org,               "In               stage               0,               there               is               no               evidence               of               cancer               cells               or               non-cancerous               abnormal               cells               breaking               out               of               the               part               of               the               breast               in               which               they               started,               or               of               getting               through               to               or               invading               neighboring               normal               tissue."               So               those               at               stage               0               get               radiation               to               prevent               the               cells               from               becoming               cancerous.
                   My               breast               cancer               journey               continues.
