I used aloe vera gel straight after each zap.I would lie in a warm salt bath each night and that helped.Yes,I had weird pains going on inside the breast during radiation. My breast was never quite the same- always a slight discomfort but at least it filled my bra.I'm fair but my skin never broke down- just ended up glowing like a hot plate. You are going through an emotional time so it's on the cards you'll cry and often when you least expect it. Carry sunglasses and tissues at all times! Check with your team but I took panadol or panadiene when my breast got painful.Mich is right,seek help if you find yourself crying every day. Big hug, Tonya xx
