Radiation and Chemo Combined and the effects

Ok first there are pictures that are to follow that may be hard to look at but its the reality that I am living so I want to be honest and show people. 
1. So that people can better understand why I haven't been out and about and why sometimes its even hard to talk, I have been sleeping a lot over the last week. 


2. To help anyone just about to go through it and be honest so they are prepared for it. 


Here goes 6 weeks everyday (week day) I went onto the machine that was shown previous post for a round 10 -15 mins for radiation therapy. 
I as doing ok as late as Mothers day I went to school and had a pamper session with Ethan who painted my nails, massaged my hands and gave me a tattoo :) The children put on a concert then we got Involved. 
This is the picture of me then. I was using QV Cream and it was doing really well and I was really happy with it until I had chemo 


Combination of drugs for CMF 

• cyclophosphamide
• methotrexate
• fluorouracil, also known as 5FU.

and the Methotrexate is  possibly the one that caused my reaction. 

Dont know why this is sideways sorry :) 

On the 16th May I had Radiation in the morning then Chemo and that afternoon this is the reaction I had come out with 

By Monday the 21st May it was this bad 

Tuesday 22nd 

Neck getting better but the chest wall isnt 23rd May 

Wednesday in Hospital the radiation burns were bad enough for them to start giving me antibiotics and strong pain killers to help with the pain these are the pictures 

This is over night so the 24th May 

Neck is getting better but still hurting 

This is this morning 25th May 

I am hopefully now that I have antibiotics can start healing ! 
Please don't think I did this for shock value as I just like to keep everyone informed and a lot of readers are about to go through this so its helpful to them to know the possibilities.


Although my reaction is bad due to chemo it still can get bad depending on treatment and the person.
