I'd love to say the five weeks of daily radiation therapy went without hitch..... well it nearly did.
The skin behind the knee broke on the second last day of treatment & pain & swelling started. Since then the area behind the knee and inside of the thigh have become red & peeling. To say it is painful is an understatement. The fluid swelling, probably lymphedema, is bad in the early evenings and this, combined with the cracked skin makes life very uncomfortable. I'm limpy Dan at the moment Lol. I've learned to crab walk up and down stairs & have to slow my self down & pace myself accordingly.
At this time it's beginning to hit home that I actually have cancer and one's future might not be too bright. At the moment I'm coping well psychologically, indeed it sometimes puzzles me when people start getting pessimistic, though I'm beginning to understand. Cancer is such an insidious disease!!
I had my first consultation with an orthopedic surgeon today, since the end of RT. To say he was pessimistic was an understatement. This has left me quiet perplexed & angry since it differs from opinions & advice given in earlier consultations with orthopods & the radio-oncologist. At the same time it has caused me to take more interest in the disease. These guys don't seem to know much when one asks them a question about one's illness. More on my grumbles on the weekend.
I intend to post my observations and experiences on all this more frequently, and also some information on liposarcoma.

I was diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer in August 2010. A valuable friend told me about Dr. Itua Herbal Center in West Africa. She gave me her phone number and email address. I quickly contacted him to guarantee that his herbal medicines will heal my cancer and I will heal forever I said OK.I ask him what is the healing process, he asks me to pay the fees I did and within 7 working days he sent me the herbal medicine and then he asked me I told my friend Gomez about the herbal drug so that he gave me to go and drink it.So after drinking for two weeks, I was cured, I am so grateful and I promise that I will do it I recommend to anyone who has cancer and that that I am doing.
