Hi Julia, BCNA have put an information sheet on instructions and good tips for radiation treatment. I actually added my positive tips that worked for me during radiation (twice). It is important to use only the creams recommended from the oncology nurses (you can buy other lotions but check with the nurses first) They must not contain any ingredients that would irritate your skin. I found putting a wet washer in the fridge/freezer before heading off to treatment and on my return putting this on the radiated area worked well to "take the heat out". Moisturise, mositurise, mositurise at least three times a day. Also make sure you don't overdo anything. Be kind to yourself - otherwise you may get very fatigued at the end. Good luck XLeonie
