Crowd-sourcing radiotherapy advice
Hi there wonderful network So I start radiotherapy tomorrow - 16 hypofractionated doses plus 4 boosts = 20 treatments. I’m keen to get advice on preventing & coping with side effects. My complication...
Keep a tube of pure aloe Vera gel in the fridge. I would sorbolene all day long, carried some with me, kept the skin moist with it. Then last thing at night a layer of cold aloe. Also when you shower make it cooler and don't direct the jet directly on to the radiated area. I used and still do use dermaveen soap free wash.
Oh and a big soft cotton scarf to drape the skin for sun avoidance.
Goodluck xxo
