I know it is a way off but where are you planning on having your radiation? I had mine at the a Mater Radiation Clinic at Woolongabba. This is nestled in near the Mater Public Hospital but is in fact part of the Princess Alexandra Hospital. I have had treatment here both times and I found it good. This clinic is Free as it is public. Another tip to consider is - they have a free carpark!!!! Anyway that's a way off and we will all be able to "give" you some tips. I am on my way home from Brisbane and have stopped off at Woodgate beach with my husband for a couple of days. I had a swim in the ocean this morning (and hopefully each day) to sooth my irriated skin. Didn't get any problems last time but was radiated differently this time. Some parts covered previous radiated areas so this made issues a bit worse. Off for an afternoon nap now!!!!!XLeonie
