Day 5 of my 5-FU journey, and I’m finally seeing some early skin changes. Today I’ve got several small pimple-like bumps appearing where I’ve applied the cream, plus one tiny sore with puss. My skin feels tighter and a little itchy — but no pain. For me, these early signs make me think I’ll peak sooner rather than later. I also share some of the tools I’m using to keep my mindset strong during treatment:
✨ Gabrielle Bernstein’s book Super Attractor — my favorite author for staying grounded and positive✨ A daily focus ritual with The Secret card deck✨ Nicotinamide (Vitamin B3) — something an oncologist recommended; it’s used in Australia to help reduce new actinic keratoses and support skin cancer prevention
Everyone’s skin reacts differently, so whether you’re on Day 5 or Day 15, remember: Your healing is happening even in the quiet moments. You’re not alone here. 💛
