Breast Pictures 06.14.2008

These were taken June 14, 2008, nine days after completing radiation treatments. The areola and some of the skin above it sloughed off, revealing new pink skin under it. But there are still small areas of dried, almost scabby looking, flakes. I'm one to pick at things, but these flakes I'm leaving alone.



The breast is swollen and full, as well as tender. After a lymph treatment with Ike, the axillary (underarm) incision is nearly smooth, as is the one on the breast.


On the outer side of the breast where is is shiny and looks almost leathery, that's how it feels to touch it. Kind of like leathery plastic. Very strange.
