This evening we have discovered that Woody is showing signs of being burned under his left arm. The skin is rather red and hot and uncomfortable. We knew that radiation continues to do its job even after the treatments stop, but didn't really expect to have burning show up almost a week after he stopped treatments.
He didn't realize what was happening till after the radiation office closed today. I will call tomorrow to see about getting the salve that they told him about. They never gave him any since he didn't burn while going for treatments.
I did make a trip to our drug store to see if they had any recommendations for something to put on it. They couldn't recommend anything for pain, but did recommend an antibiotic ointment to keep it from getting infected. So for the evening that is what we are using.
And I thought that this would just be a week to slide through since there were no appointments, etc. Oh, well...
