Radiation and how you felt
Would appreciate some feedback at what its like to have radiation and especially those who had about 7 Chemo first, I had 3 and a half FEC and then 3 Taxotere, then a month off, and then I will start...

Hi BelI had the same chemo as you and radiation for 6 weeks, a lovely lady who went through this 12 years ago advised me to get an aloe vera plant and take a leaf with me to the radiation then afterwards apply the gel onto the area then put the sorbolene on top like frosting, then put the sorbolene on again at night before bed. My skin held up really well and I only got a small amount of peeling towards the end and only in a couple of spots caused by the underwire of my bra rubbing and the strap from my handbag over my collar bone area.I have 2 young children and work part-time, I continued to work through my treatment but would have the week off following my treatment. I found i did get tired from the radiation, then my Dr changed my appointments to the morning, which helped as it meant I could come home and rest a bit before I picked the kids up from school.I wish you well with your radiation and hope this helps.Sue :-)
