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 I had 15 radiation sessions, finished them a month ago. The last day was the only time I had any problems, my shoulder felt stiff when I woke up that morning. The nurse told me just to do keep doing the exercises. Ten days later my underarm skin was very red looking so I started to put Bepanthen on the area as well as using moo goo udder cream. I didn’t realise that was getting treated, so wasn’t really moisturising there. I think it was just peeling. It was all clear a couple of days later when I saw the radiation nurse. The staff will keep an eye on you to make sure it looks okay. Xx
