Hi Jane and A few others who are about to go through Radiation, it is way easier than Chemo.... some pointers they give you special creams to lather on the radiated site USE IT ... also if you can put cold wet compresses on the area when you get home it helps to lessen the burning as you progress through the sessions.

be kind to yourself and take the time to rest.
