Starting Radiation
Hi All, Tomorrow I will starting my first of 15 rounds of Radiation. What recommendations for creams post treatmen for skin burn. I was given samples of QV cream and LaRoche-Posay Lipikar baume and ...
Hi there - Ive just started the 15 days of therapy and started with StrataX yesterday. As have large breasts I am unsure if am putting on too much or not enough and also got some moo goo as well. Any other good ( and cheaper ) creams I could get as the StrataX is so expensive. Large Boob tax was a joke I heard and soooo true! I also wondered what peoples experiences were with hardening of the breast and skin around the scar and breast and under the armpit? I feel its hardening already and is aching a bit - wasnt sure if this was just me overthinking and a placebo effect or could start that early
Hi, I was fortunate to only need 5 days of radiation on half my R breast and under arm back in September. I have sensitive skin and didn't want to be plagued with itching, burning and discomfort so gladly invested in the StrataX. I was told I only needed a small pea size for that area and shown how to feather it on with my finger tips. It should just feel a bit sticky, not moist. You don't spread it generously and rub it in like Moo Goo. I expected to get some symptoms, but I had none at all in the 6 weeks following treatment while continuing with StrataX. So it was well worth it for me. After the 6 weeks I stopped using StrataX and still had some left! I have since been applying Moo GOO liberally on the scar area around my nipple and under my arm massaging it in very well twice a day. That is working well. There's still some hardening but it's reducing.
