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
StrataX is specially good to apply during treatment. It's so expensive due to all the research. The hospital had a code I used for a discount when ordering. You "feather" on a very light film and it protects from burning. Continuing using it for some weeks after radiation makes a difference too. Other creams are moisturisers. I keep what's left in the frig and used a dab for kitchen finger/hand burns and they disappeared.
I found some good info on scar massage here:- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oiDygSX2hM4
