Counting the days-13 more to GO!

Radiation is going well and I can harldy wait for January 27th to get here! I am having some pain in my legs and my back. I've told 2 doctors about it and they seem to think it is unrelated. I can't figure out what is going on really. This morning I woke up and my leg is hurting from the back of my thigh to my big toe :( It feels like a nerve or something.
When I went to my appointment yesterday I got more markings, but his time with a paint pen..remember the metal ones you shake up that smelled really strong? Well, I have a bright blue circle around my left breast, followed by more tape. This "blue target" is for the last 5 treatments. It is called, electron or "tumor bed boost". The machine has some equipment added to it, kind of reminds me of a camera lens and it is directly aimed at where my tumor used to be.
I was given praise for how well my skin is doing, although it is starting to turn pink now. The doctor told me most people were really red by now and in pain! Let's keep our fingers and toes that that I can keep going like this until the end.
