Remedies for Radiation burns
Hi girls
Yesterday I finally completed my 25 shots of radiation and suffice to say that my poor booby is very worse for wear.
I listened to all the nurses and also read a lot on Dr Google (as you do) and thought I'd share what helped me.
I used all the potions and lotions that the hospital gave me or I bought myself. I used them all and also cold flannels etc (and some wine to numb the pain lol). But today, when it was especially burny (is that a word?) I applied 1% cortizone ointment on the whole breast area....... I'm talking immediate relief...... it took away the "scratchy" feel and left with a warm feeling that was actually cooling; if that makes sense.... . I've taken two days off work so that I can "air" the breast.... but I feel so guilty..... why is it so ingrained to feel bad when you take sick days?!
Cheers
Angie
