Hi.
I used the kmart post surgery bras after my lumpectomy and until RT finished. The bras were ok...served their purpose.
Re RT and creams: the protective film fell off after 1 RT session..so my skin was fully exposed. Half way through my 15 sessions the skin was beginning to blister . None of the creams given to me helped ( sorboline, solosite, dermaid) ...so by session 15 my skin was in a bad way....bleading, blistered , red ugly pimples. Very uncomfortable and disrupted my sleep.
No one at the Cancer centre team knew what to recommend. Thank god for my GP! : QV intensive cream for very dry skin plus Novasone ( topical corticosteroid...script needed). Magic ! for me at least.
I passed this info on to the team.
