Radiation burns how to treat
I am 9 days post radiation. I dont want to say too much here that will scare people who are about to start. But i have skin which has come off and is weeping. Anyone know if i can use an antiseptic...

Woohoo! Awesome @MicheleR! The cream I was told to use also had zinc in it .... it was very greasy, but I used it and had no problems, but I also didn’t have any real skin breakdown either. They suggested I put new blue ‘wipes’ between me and my clothes (cut to size) as the zinc can stain your clothes.
You are STRONG .... you CAN do this! Hopefully in 12 months time, you’ll look back on this whole episode and pump your fist and say “YES”!
take care and I hope you are having a lovely Easter xx
