Finished radiation today, told boob will be worse next week, have been given some steroid cream. When I first started radiation the nurse told me to put l litre of boiling water in a bowl put in 1tsp of table salt when cool put in fridge. Change water after 48 hours. When cold soak a flannel or something similar in the water and then put on your breast or wherever you are red and hot, it is freezing but the relief is unbelievable, leave on for about 10 mins, I lay on my bed on a towel and do this at least 3 times a day, you can't believe how warm the flannel gets. Hope this gives you some relief or anyone else who reads this. All the best.
