Finished radiation and am singing the praise of aloe vera plant

My 25th and final radiation was six days ago. I used StrataXRT gel all through treatment and the burning is minor, according to the radiation oncologist. In the past few days, particularly in the evenings and when I first wake up, my treated area is "on fire" and stinging. I've been using ice-cold washcloths and Moogoo cream. This evening I decided to try the flesh of aloe vera plant from the garden, as recommended by someone from Be Uplifted, a local support group in Brisbane. It stopped the stinging and burning immediately. I've put a big leaf in the fridge ready for morning, or if I need it during the night.
