Hi Maria,
Sorry to hear about your horrible time at rads this week. We are so emotionally fragile at this time. And, yes, what becomes a very routine job for some people who need to be reminded that they're working with patients who are dealing with a multitude of emotions that come with a cancer diagnosis.
I'm currently having radiation as well, just had #11 yesterday. (Not even half way!) I've been plastering on the moogoo cream to my whole chest wall (post mastectomy) up to my collarbone.

Great to hear the various creams are working for you. I've found moogoo have a range of cleansing wash (milk wash) and deodorant.
Take one day at a time. Hang in there.
