My skin is falling off...

by Leslie Jacobs


YUCK! It's just like getting a sunburn and having the burnt pieces fall off to reveal new skin underneath.  But, this time I didn't lie in the sun and read a book, or talk to my friends enjoying a great day.  I have spent the past 6 weeks, every week day getting radiation on my breast for I have breast cancer.

Now, what the doctor and nurse have been checking me out for the past 6 weeks has come to pass--my skin is falling off. It itches, and it doesn't hurt yet...but when the skin falls off I'm afraid it will hurt. My neck itches as well as the inside of my breast--but I can only scratch my neck. There is no help for the inside itch...except sleep.

So, today I pray, My Life is Fantastic, Thank YOU GOD.

Even though I am struggling financially and physically...everything is still good.
