@positive3negative. Thanks Meg. Yes we are all on a very individual journey and our treating team have individual ideas too from their knowledge or experience.. I go to Dr with a list of questions too as I tend to worry about things otherwise. I just need to know. And I've experienced doctors mistakes before. Genesis cancer care have brochures printed for breast cancer patients undergoing radioAtion so the cream they recommended was Fauldings Essentials Vitamin E cream. (Cheap) and I have a tub at home and a tube in the bag they gave me to bring each day with my treatment gown and "passport" for the 'cruise'. I had rose hip oil but the BCNurse said no OIL. They also list Dove soap unscented for sensitive skin or QV wash to use daily in the area being treated & of course no deodorant, perfume etc in the area. After 8 treatments now I'm friendly with the staff and quite enjoy the daily social interaction. My left side is getting sore around my ribs ( cos they don't have much fat there) but hoping this will level out and I'll progress fairly trouble free.
