And so it continues ...

So, Day 7 of radiotherapy and already my skin is splitting. It's like a heat rash under and between my breasts and is a bit uncomfortable.

Apparently it's quite common, but usually not so soon. The BC nurses have suggested salt water bathing. I'm doing that plus continuing to moisturise with QV.  I'm keen to know of any other tips to keep it from getting any worse - or, better still, get rid of it!

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks all :)

    I havent started my radiation yet, however my radiation oncologist recommended moogoo skim milk udder cream for during my treatments - I am having 30 zaps all up over 6 weeks.  I bought some online and am going to do a skin test before I start. Hope you find some relief soon.
