Efudex Day Fifteen

May 28, 2013

Last night's sleep was interrupted a few times by burning and nerve-like zaps (more aggressive than the tingling I described in earlier posts). My face felt like a plasma globe with tendrils of electricity racing around my face. I got up and looked in the mirror and my neck and chest had welts all over, a few were weeping. I should've taken a picture, but I was half asleep and just went back to bed. Another time, I woke up and contemplated getting an ice pack to calm it down, but fell back to sleep.

So, today is my last day of applying the Efudex cream and from what I've read online, I am about to embark on the "tumor disintegration phase" where lesions resolve as the skin exfoliates. Then the last phase is healing...YAY!

I'm not surprised, but just blown away seeing the amount of skin damage and pre-cancerous stuff I have. I will be glad to be rid of it soon!
