I’m so sorry you went through such an ordeal. I hope you feel better now that you have a treatment plan. Waiting for the results is the hardest part. Make sure you take care of your skin during radiation. I used fresh Aloe Vera right after each treatment and it worked well for me. Continue to use whatever cream you use for another week or two after the last radiation. I stopped to early and found a blister under my nipple. There is a thread in this site with lots of good information on how to prevent radiation burn. Pray that you will breeze through all treatments. Hugs.

Thank you!! The radialogy onco explained this really well and I have heard and read that Aloe Vera seems to work better with some people than just aquaphor. The onco also prescribed another cream for me. Good thing I already bought aloe Vera! I am not looking forward to radiation burn as I’m sure I’m one of those that will get it.
