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
Hikittykatster I don’t think you’re overthinking it; I had a very sensitive breast after surgery (a lumpectomy) and 15 doses of radiation. Even 12 m later, having an ultrasound check was uncomfortable and made me wince. Not sure if my pain and internal scarring was due to the surgery or the radiation. My GP referred me to a physio some months later for laser treatment and combining that with her recommended stretches has led to significant improvements.
