radiation burns

Two radiation sessions to go. Skin has broken down in places. The nurse at my local GP has been so caring, and dresses the open wounds daily. I prefer to go there then the nurse at the radiation clinic. Dr has given me stronger pain killer and I am not so miserable. I have been using solugel on open bits. The nipple skin has come away, so tender but a nursing pad has given some protection. Thanks ladies for all advice in previous posts on radiation.

    yay only 2 to go, I found that as soon as my radiation stopped my skin started to heal, I know others still have burns coming on for a couple of weeks after. We are all different but I hope for you that you are on the mend quickly.
