Scarring from radiation
Hi all hope everyone is well. Im 41 and been given option to do 4 or 6 weeks of radiation. My initial reaction was to just do 4 weeks to get it over and done with but I unfortunately googled things no...

Hi@newbie3312 Firstly sorry this is even a decision you have to make. Just like @Sister, my experience wasn’t bad either. I opted for the shorter stronger course. I carried plain Sorbolene with me everywhere I went and kept the skin practically white with it,(several times daily), and before bed last thing I did was coat the radiated area with AloeVera that I kept in the fridge. I made sure that in the shower I didn’t direct the shower directly on the breast, used dermaveen gentle wash and kept the water cooler than I would have liked! I wore very very soft cotton tshirts. Only slightly differcult part was soft bras(I’m D cup)for when I was at work. ( I worked the entire time). Perhaps while your skin is fragile you could smother in cream then bandage the breasts gently/firmly for horse riding.?
