Hellloooo
I'll try to keep the treatment experience brief!
Diagnosed sept 2009 , 3 lumps and 1 infected lymph node , decided to have bilateral mastectomy and reconstruction stage 1 and full lymph clearance.hence the nick name Nipp_less!!!!
Survived that! Next decided to have chemo , that was no fun but survived that ! To top it all off had radiation and survived that as well ... Had to wait a while for stage 2 recon due to raidiation side effects , mean while hospital was cut off in the floods while I had implants put in - Survived that! Got some nipple reconstructed and tattoos ! cute! ( not so nipp less now! )
Trying to remember to take Tamoxifen every night! Memory shot to pieces after chemo , onco wants to put me on Aromatase inhibitors , been in Menopause a while now , so should work better , but it will zap my bones even more than Tamoxifen , got diagnosed with Oesteoperosis 6 months ago. Not enough vit D girls !!!!
We have to get that checked if on Meds . But I'm surviving that too !

HI Issy,
Your Radiation Specialist will brief you on the products they recommend,usually they are fragrance free and very nourishing. Having said that I personally used a cream from Health food shop , Moo cream, it comes from cows milk so I saw the funny irony to this from one udder to another!!!! I showed it to mydoctor and it was given the ok to use, BUT please check with your Doc first!
Don't worry about the radiation treatment , it was not painfull, just a little tedious going 5 days a week, My Radiation Centre was located across the Road from a Shopping Centre , so I"rewarded" myself after each treament!
Good Luck
