Radiation burns

Forgot I wore raglan sleeves during treatment and after while creaming as did not cause irritation as much

Put aah bra into eBay and they pop up - someone is selling them from Adelaide Some shops have similar called sports bras - they have no wires http://www.dshop.com.au/buy/3-x-pack-seamless-sports-bras/1211

@Jen79x they are a seamless bra almost like a trainer bra.I’ll try and get a photo of one. One proviso I would not recommend them during radiotherapy and afteruntil things settle down and you don’t have to cream and are no longer sore as they are not absorbent and contain nylon so could irritate. PS I have bigger breasts 16D and find they support fine

Thanks @SoldierCrab but no. Whilst they were absorbent they were not great getting on plus not that comfy.A friend gave me the aah bra as a gift and I took to it like a duck to water - first time I had been comfortable since surgery in March . Decided I was worth it so threw Target ones in bin and bought aah bras online.However don’t think aah bra would have been good during radio as not absorbent and also nylon mix so could irritate sore skin.

Great info @Romla thank you !! Can I ask what aah bras are? 

@Romla
those bras that got discoloured from the creams, have you still got them? if so get some good quality wool wash and pour along the stains then give a little scrub with material against material.  put into Napisan and leave overnight and wash in warm water  it should lift 99% or all the staining for you. 

Btw have been wearing aah bras ever since creaming ended soo comfy at last - available in lots of places under different names eg Best and Less , KMart , Target etc. Not pretty or sexy but best decision I ever made. Oddly enough you step into them and pull them up -  cheap to buy too - I bought 3 for $15

@Jen79x I had 16 rounds radiotherapy last May - I was surprised that my skin damage was minor despite being a very fair redhead. I used Dermaveen a lot plus a herbal lotion supplied at the clinic - many ladies on here swear by Moo Goo. We went to Cairns shortly after and did note I had to be very careful with UV however - I wore a long sleeve rashie a lot and did not feel comfortable with lengthy times in the sun so did not do some adventures with my family..I would think you might need to coverup to protect yourself from late afternoon sun.I think skin damage might be related to how many rounds you have and yes your type of skin.I was told by nurse at radiotherapy clinic my type of skin surprisingly not severely effected - she had an Asian lady with serious skin problems however.I never needed dressings . I bought post op front opening cotton bras from target which helped but all the creaming discoloured them badly and I also wore a soft top as I had zapping under my armpit - you may need to consider carefully the fabric of your outfit or be prepared to wear a soft cotton top underneath it. Btw I was told to cream up not only during treatment but for 3months afterwards 3 times a day - I did more than that when I felt the need and I did in Qld which was in July 6 weeks after it ended.

It would be best to wear something that covers up the area to keep it protected from the sun, this goes for all the time not just for the wedding. At about halfway through the radiation I would expect you to have some reddening but nothing too severe. But of course everyone’s skin reacts differently.  :)

Thank you :) @Sister
