I am hoping one of you lovely ladies can assist. I am about to start radiotherapy and have been slathering my boob with moogoo full cream moisturizer. I’ve used this as I have dry skin and it is better than the udder cream for my arms and legs. However I’m wondering if the udder cream is better for my boob? Does anyone know whether one is better than the other?

Don't forget to ask your clinic about Mepitel film if you haven't already.

Thanks for all this information, I have just finished my last chemo Yah !! and have my first appointment with the radiation oncologist on the 15th Sept so trying to sort myself out LOL

Hello @Mousie I used the moogoo udder cream and was very happy. The radiotherapy nurse I spoke to advised to use a cream that you have used pre radiotherapy to ensure no reaction, and they supply you with (free) sorbolene cream if you wish to use that. The staff keep a close eye on your skin throughout and they will advise accordingly. I went through the public hospital system for radiotherapy and I cannot speak highly enough of the staff and my care! (I am a registered nurse). My very best wishes to you for your treatment!

I'm sure the regular moo goo moisturizer would be fine if that's what you normally use. I'm not sure of the difference in ingrediants. But basically as long as no perfumes or metals all good 😊

@Louise64 I used the Moo goo udder cream except when I had blisters I used Bepanthem from the supermarket in the baby care section.

Sounds like you're all over it, that's good, Let me know if I can help with anything...I'm in Met West area. I have a lot of respect for DRTs, it's a tough gig that's for sure. Take care.

@Cathyw yes I have asked for graduated return as I’m a district relief teacher 12 schools prep-6 (and special needs) hoping they’ll let me stay at my base school for a week or 2 before back to different school everyday ... not looking forward to the daily grind. But I need the money! After private radiotherapy costs, creams etc and income protection I need to work for 10 weeks term 4. It’s been interesting and unexpected since diagnosis in May to still be going .. can’t wait for any type of normal routine. Bring on 2021💗💗

Good luck and if you're returning to work in the public system in QLD, you could maybe look at a graduated return to work...ask me for more info., If you're not sure I might be able to help...

@ChezaH 21 down -4 radiotherapy treatments to go. Due to sun damage I have the whole area armpit across chest - dark red-brown, blisters, bleeding and dry. I’ve been through everything- mepitel, StrataXRT, diatherm, QV cream now MooGoo . The best thing is boiled sterile water in fridge on washcloth - best relief .
also the frozen condoms in chucks wipes underneath breast is fantastic. I’m also on pain relief as I near the end. I’m sure you’ll have an easier time as misspent youth sunbathing has come back to bite me.
Try everything doctor and nurses suggest and don’t persevere with something if you feel it’s not working. This group has saved me during the radiotherapy process. I’ve bought my 50 plus rash vest to go under clothes so ready for playground duty when I head back to school 👍💗

Thank you for that, I have just ordered my MooGoo cream today and I was asking for Mepitel when I go to my appointment. hugs xx

Moo Good Udder Cream did it for me.

Sudocrem (Woolies, baby aisle, small tube) worked well for me when my scar started to break down a bit. I use moo goo msm moisturiser, during treatment and still use after 6 months finished RT.
