Hi Cheryl. Good to hear that you don't need chemo. As others have said, everyone's reactions are different. So are the hospitals treatment recommendations. I was "lucky" ??, & started reacting after only 2 treatmemts. I was given a mild hydrocortisone cream to apply, & used aqueous moisturising lotion.

Not sure that it made any other difference, although my skin never act broke down. Hope it all goes well for you.
Tale care, Lyn
