Radiation Therapy
Hi everyone,
This is my first post on this fabulous network :) I am hoping some of you can share your own experiences to give me a feel of what I may have in stall for me.
I am to go through radi...
I was lucky and had lots of sick leave and annual leave which I took whilst having radiation.I just didn't want the added stress.I got very tired about halfway through treatment and would just come home after the zap and have an afternoon nanna nap.As soon as I was zapped,I'd go into the toilets and lather my boob with pure aloe vera gel then a cotton hankie over it.Most nights I'd soak in a warm salt bath which soothed the redness.I'd put vit e cream on afterwards but I believe Moo goo is good.My skin never broke down but my boob was glowing like a hot plate at the end.It's scary to start with but it soon becomes a daily routine.Best wishes, Tonya xx
