Fluorouracil and my Journey

I started my journey with Flourourcil on 9-30-2016, At first I didn't see where the doctor told me that it would burn? After the first three days, I really couldn't see a change, waking up on the fourth day I noticed the redness starting. On the fifth day I started noticing the burn and soreness when I would put on the cream. Taking only Motrin to help ease the pain.  I should have taken more pictures,the ones posted were taken 18 days after starting treatment.I really wish I had known the pain it would have caused, because if I had known I would have only done a portion at a time. The spot around my nose was the worst  there was no touching it at all. If I needed to blow my nose it was the worst pain! On my forehead on the left hand side was very painful also. (First pic shows it as the right because of the mirror)In between treatments I put antibiotic cream on to help sooth soreness. I continued doing this til the 25th . My face got a whole lot more red and sore by this time. So much so nothing was helping with the pain. I never knew really had bad the sun was for you, I thought I was immune to getting this skin damage/cancer. So please if you are out in the sun alot or not even alot please put on sun screen!
