tip or tricks on getting through radiation?

Hi @Maree72, I've just started radiation and had #6 today. I was very kindly gifted a tube of the StrataXRT from a wonderful friend who had also used it and recommended it highly.  When I told them I wanted to use it, I got differing info from different nurses.  One said she didn't think I'd need it, and almost told me not to bother, then another that said that it will definitely make a difference.  Anyhoo, I'm going with it since I have the tube and so far it has been great.  The instructions that came with it said you use it very thinly and there should be enough in the 50g tube for 60 applications.  Which is about what I need morning and night for 15 sessions and for two or three weeks after, so I'm hoping I'll have enough. 
Good luck and I hope you breeze through this next part of your journey.
