Help with radiation remedies

Hi everyone

tomorrow us my last radiation treatment. I wanted to find out how people coped with the burns. This has been the worst thing throughout my treatment. 

I have red raw skin under my breast it is really uncomfortable/painful. Wearing a bra is uncomfortable/not wearing a bra is uncomfortable. I am using the gel and padding, the smell is unpleasant after a few hours. 

Any suggestions I believe it is going to get worse before it gets better

thanks

    Bad news is that it might peak next week as what you may be experiencing now is last weeks treatment if that makes sense. I wanted to buy shares in solugel and apply and reapply generously.  The redness and burn can heal amazingly fast : I remember having a deep break in skin which healed overnight.  I also had a week off work about now and rest and wearing little except these bandages worked well. Things can improve quickly so that's a morale booster.  

    Best wishes
