Hi Jane,
I had 5 weeks of radiotherapy on the whole breast. The next week I was being zapped on the actual spot where the tumour had been. My lump was 1.3cm on the back muscle of the breast, basically on the lowest rib on the right side and all the scarring from the operation is on the under side of the breast. It was quite burnt underneath my breast and I was had some difficulty wearing bras because of this fact. While I was burnt and the skin was peeling I needed to wear bras to keep the breast off the skin of my chest. I had a padded bandage that this clear cooling gel was applied to & the bra would keep it in place.
