1-10 burns, freckles and boosts.

Day 16 of radiation. Over the weekend I noticed a small  burn on my collar bone. 





Lots of freckles coming out on my shoulder. Reddish sunburned looking  skin on my upper lat and trapezius 
Today they took extra x-rays and a scan of the tissue. The Dr.  will use the information to stage the rest of my radiation. They will probably go a few more days of the "total" area, then give my skin a break and do what they call a "boost". The boost is radiation aimed directly at the tumor bed. They typically do this for a few days then back to the entire treatment area until your 33 days are done.
