Re: Radiation - Is Moo Goo enough?
Hi everyone, I’ve just finished 15 rounds of radiation and I’ve developed a very nasty rash which started on my left breast (the side I had the cancer) and has spread upwards onto my chest. It’s very itchy, sore and stings, I was given some hydrocortisone cream from one of the clinic nurses, and also advised to take a antihistamine tablet once a day, which I have been doing, but any relief doesn’t last long, and I’m back to the itching again. I also use Moo Goo moisturiser 2-3 times a day. I’ve been reading about what others are using and I must admit I’ve never heard of some of these products, like Sudocreme, Calendula and StratXRT. Are these all available over the counter, or are they prescription only? I’m happy to try anything! Thanks!55Views0likes0CommentsRe: Newly Diagnosed - Letrozole
Hi, this is my 2nd time on this forum, so I hope I’m in the right area to ask my question. I have just finished my radiation yesterday, after having 15 rounds. I have been prescribed Letrozole by my Oncologist, and I was told to wait 2 weeks after my radiation finished before I start taking it. But I don’t understand why I need to wait this long? I know I should have asked my doctor at the time but it just didn’t occur to me, and since then I have heard other people say they started taking Letrozole straight after their rads, so has anyone else had to wait this long, and is this a common practice? Thanks for any advice you can give me!10Views0likes0CommentsRe: Newly Diagnosed - Diabetes & Treatment Side Effects
Hi @arpie, Thanks very much for your response, I guess I just have to be patient and wait until I see my medical team, and hope they will guide me through this process. Thanks for your advice regarding my blood sugar readings, I do keep a record of them, so that will come in handy. I also have a fur baby, and I love my patchwork and quilting, so I will look out for similar interests! xx3Views0likes0CommentsRe: Newly Diagnosed - Diabetes & Treatment Side Effects
Hi @GorgyS, Thanks for your response to my question, my diabetes is something I am really concerned about, and I will discuss this with my medical team (once I know who they are). It sounds like you are in good hands, and I'm glad to hear your diabetes is being managed well, and I also wish you all the best with your future treatment.10Views1like0Comments
