Radiation tips
Hi Ladies,
I'm about to start radiation And I was wondering if you had any tips. I'm 3 weeks post mastectomy.
I'm having my planning appointment tomorrow.
Cheers Kylie xxx

My best two tips would be cream, cream and more cream - I used Essentials Vitamin E cream from the Chemist (but not before treatment visits) - and DeoNat deodorant, also from the Chemist. Both these were recommended by my Radiation Oncology team and I still use them 2 years later, which speaks for itself.
Some of the pink ladies used pure sorbelene or Moogoo products - also very pure. I think the main thing is to slather the cream on, starting in the dressing room after treatment and every night before bed. Also during the day if it feels tightish.
The time goes very quickly, and once you are set up only takes a few minutes. All the very best xx Michelle
