got my radiation planning date yayyy

Hi Monica, i am starting mine on Monday and i know exactly what you mean in saying your happy because i am so happy mine is starting too... Its the good old waiting game that messes with our brain hey.  

I was told a few things at my mapping several weeks ago.

1. Not to put deodorant on for 7 weeks, as the chemicals/ aluminium  can interacts with the rays and skin. this also applies to powders. 

2. To use only sorbolene, Vit E, aloe gel and QV creams as there is no baddies in them. They will treat you thereafter if your skin  starts to react to badly.

3 No vitamins  or anti oxidants because anti oxidants cleans your cells and the radiation is trying to damage and kill of bad cells. interfere with the effectiveness of the treatment.

4. If you are big breasted then try not to have a bra with underwire as it will rub under the boob and cause blistering or irritation.They said to try boob crop tops instead of a bra.

I have since found a deodorant called  QV naked  with all the bad stuff taken out like no fragrance or no aluminium.   They said that i can use this...It will be interesting to  find out if anything is different with you.

Good luck and get ready to bare all again (nearly) for another 6-7 weeks.

Cheers Joxx
