Dear Cheryl and Jo,
Thanks for your thoughts. I will do the radiation because this is a numbers game and having talked through the odds with my surgeon and the radiation oncologist, I get that it is a good idea.
I have always had very reactive skin - I burn easily and flush easily. I rarely have facials because even if I warn the lass doing it that I have reactive skin and they then use their "sensitive skin" stuff on me, I always come out very very red. So, I am worried about the burning I met end up with from the radiation.
Planning session is Wednesday 18 July and zapping starts Monday 23 July. I was wondering, do you think it would be a good idea to start with the sorbolene BEOFRE they start zapping me? I have a tub a friend gave me that her mum had left over after her radiation.
Thanks for your feedback.
