Radiation Burn

By Friday I was in complete agony with this under arm burn. I waited by the phone all day for my doctor to return my call and he never did. Grrr. I got up on Saturday and went to see the doctor on call at the hospital. The nurse put some Flamazine (which they keep in the fridge) on it and some gauze. It was so cold but instant relief. The doctor then prescribed some Flamazine for me to put on it and also told me to take my Tylenol 3’s or to take 1 full dose of Advil and 1 full dose of Tylenol together. The Flamazine feels oh so good but you can only use it once per day but the Advil/Tylenol mix is a pretty good pain reliever. I look forward to the day when I can do my own thing and not worry about what hurts….
