Creams after Radiation

I finished radiation mid November and was wondering how long other women continued to moisturise their breast. Thanks.

  • I found radiation ok, no burns or discomfort whilst having it, but both breast were sore following the treatment ( 20 sessions) so I found massaging them with cream helped and as I'm only small breasted I am better to go without a bra when I can. So much more comfortable. 
    I noticed you are from the Wollongong ,  so am I.  If you would like to catch up let me know. 
  • I haven't had radiation but mastectomy and reconstruction and still moisturise to keep skin and scar in good condition once a day now. Kath x
  • 4 years and counting - the scar is barely discernable and the skin is supple.  It is now a habit. x
