Thanks so much for replying. I start next Tuesday. Im happy to hear that you didn’t burn. That’s so good! I will be diligent for sure, maybe I’ll be the same.
I’ve had a few scary things in the last couple of years, a colon resection, then diagnosed in August with breast cancer. Why on earth this is bothering me so much, I don’t know! Thanks again, I will aloe and calendula. Best to have a few choices. 🙏🏻

I will think of you on Tuesday. Sometimes things have the "straw that broke the camel's back" effect. That is, stress builds up and the most recent thing seems the worst--although I think it can be accumulation. Glad you are on Connect.
Ask questions, they didn't warn me about the burn, how it could damage my skin. They didn't tk any breaks, I wish I wld've known more. It was told to me that it was like a sunburn and mine got bad, I asked for a break, didn't get a break unless I clld off sick, which I did 2 times due to the burn, and they told me over the counter creams to use, never gve me athg. I'm thankful to be cancer free today. I'm alive and that's the most important thing. Be careful, strong and always ask questions. God bless you ❤️

Your doctor should’ve given you a prescription for a burn cream that you can get at the pharmacy. They gave me a petroleum jelly cream and the prescription for another cream. I had to use one two times a day and one once a day. This should be standard procedure. Hugs.
