Radiation
Hello, lovely ladies ??
I am just over half way thru my radiation, with 15 more to go,
The skin under my breast is starting to break down , even with all my careful best efforts,
Eeeekkkkkkk, ...
Hi, I had 30 sessions started 6th Jan so right through the worst part of the year (live in Townsville). I only used Aqueous cream, but once the skin breaks down the nurses should give you inceptin (?) gel with a moist gauze to dress the site. They also supplied me with large cotton pads to place over the worse areas and any other areas that rub. The only good news is that once the treatment stops everything heals really quickly, they told me it could linger for 2 weeks after but the skin had healed really well after 1.5 weeks. All you can do is moisturise, keep cool and reduce the friction!!
All the best, Kari
