AHHH Radiation
Radiation i was told would be a walk in the park compared to Chemo, and i guess compared to Chemo it was, i needed 30 sessions and 6 booster sessions in the last week, i went every day was only there...
Hi Dianne,
I've just finished my 30 session include 5 times booster 3SEP.. My nurse given me Vic E cream, AQ cream and later on they given me "Solosite" gel which they felt mine was swallon and burning like (I was stupid and didn't feel at all but just accept the reaction from Radio). The Solosite act so quick, redness gone in just 1 time treatment. Initially I put Rosehip oil almost everyday before Vit E or AQ cream. I had the Rosehip oil when was in Chemo, one of the pink sisters here had this suggestion when skin goes wrong, so that's why I had the bottle left......
(I am not in big boot, so I didn't wear bra at all, but just cotton-like t-shire as the base)
Everyone had different reaction from Radio (high or low) Do u have Solosite gel (have to pad with salty water). It seems very helpful and quick. When I pad the gel with guaze and salty water, I wear my surgery bra to hold it, and keep for like 15-20 min and then took that away, rosehip oil and cream on afterward.
Take care and hope it helps
