I have finished my 30 treatments of radiation. went good as planned but there was some soreness, redness, itchyness and blistering but the breast nurses were great with suggestions to help. Now i hav...
Hi Tansy. i found for the heat: a mixture of 1tspn salt dissolved in 1 ltr hot water put in fridge to cool then place a flannel or cloth in water and place on your breast. the coolness soothed the heat and the salt acts as a antibacteria agains infection. i sometimes put a gel pack in the freezer then wrapped in a cloth and walked around work or home with it down my top lol. It did work. the nurses gave me some cream called dermeze which helped with the blistering. then when i finished treatment the redness cleared up good and i used QV which helped with the dryness a lot. good luck on finishing the treatment. so far with the letrozole i havent had any side effects yet ive only been on 3wks i assume i have to give it a bit of time to get into my system but i will let you know. take care :)
