Hi all, Just want to share a tip for anyone coming up to having Radio, I used a cream called 'Wheat Grass' available from some health food stores, it is brilliant applied daily to stop the burning and drieness. My oncologist recommended an ego product but this is sooo much better. Give it a try if your having Radio highly recommended, happy new year to everyone, Sheree
Good luck Linda, hope all goes well. Certainly worth a try if you get it, it was my best mate ha Sheree
It could be dr wheatgrass and I always used the cream in this range.. Applied before and after Radio session for 6 weeks worked a treat.. Goodluck
Kym no longer having radio it was some years ago, however I started putting this cream on at the beginning of radiation therapy,I did not have any blistering so sorry to hear your boob is that sore. I always applied it before and after the session.that was for 6 weeks. Sheree
Hi Sheree,
thanks for the tip.
I am at no. 12/28 radio sessions, out of curiousity, where are you at with radio? Just so I can judge if it will be useful or too late in the piece.
I am trying arnica cream and when the blistering comes was going to try oats, apparently they have healing and anti inflammatory properties. But this sounds interesting to have on hand.
All the best
kym
Hi. I just googled this. Just checking is this Dr wheatgrass? Also they seem to have a range of gels, soothers, creams etc. Which one did you find was the best? Thanks for the heads up. Glad you found it so good.
Thanks. Due to start radiotherapy soon, so will have a look for that one.
i've also heard that lanolin, calendula and aquaphor are good too.
