@JoeyLiz You are a goldmine of advice ! @duxx1234 Sorry you're suffering so much. After readings some stories and looking at a couple of photos, I'm quite confused about the extent to which I should apply the StrataXRT before my radiation starts on 3 Sept. I've been applying it to the area they marked out around my breast. But it seems I need to do it on my neck and shoulder as well. And the décolletage area? And part of my midriff under the breast? I think I'll ring the nurse this morning and ask. I've had a bad night - another 2 am without sleep and got up and made sleepy tea and read until about 3 am or so. Didn't wake until 09:20. So I need to get going now.
