Hi There
I finished my radiation last Friday and have had one week without it and my skin is still ok. I did take great care of my skin having heard from friends how they had problems. Used Johnsons baby soap to wash with and put on the Sorbolene 100% cream religiously. I have spent a lot of time without a bra and often topless when I can or in an oversized singlet. I have carried on with the cream and soap and will do so for a few more weeks. I have a little bit of swelling but nothing terrible have recommenced arm exercises the stretching ones to help and one of the doctors showed me how to massage the area. You'll be fine like the others said just rest when you need to. I found the travelling tiring I drove in and my husband drove back we went in the evening when the traffic and parking was better ( Brisbane!) found lots of nice restaurants on our travels and had some yummy dinners.
Good luck and let us know how it all goes.
