radiation

Radiation is going on really well. started 15th february. I am applying the cream twice daily. first few were painful but once my arms got used to it and i kept doing the exercises it was okay. My skin is still only a bit red not peeling yet.

hope it doesnt get worse over the last 10 sessions!!

  • hi all

    i have only three sessions to go now!!! yay! im so happy this part of the journey is nearly over with! sad to be leaving the people ive gotten to know so well in the hospital. they have all been great.

  • Keep up the moisturiser.  I also used to ut wet washers in the fridge/freezer before I went off to radiation.  On my return home I would put these on my radiated area and lie down and relax.  I never had any broken skin.  I was also very specific with wearing only natural fibre clothing.  Cotton was best.  I actually commenced my radiation on 14th Feb 2011.  Rest up as much as you can and don't take on anything extra and you will breeze through it.  Best wishes.
