This is what my radiologist gave me for treatment. It worked for me. No burns.

Ditto on the green tea. Per radiologist instructions, put it on before radiation treatments
Used calendula lotion immediately following radiation, applied it before getting dressed after treatment. Also applied green tea twice a day on non treatment days.
Had 5 radiation treatments, every other day.
3 days after last treatment had mild rash on chest wall, mostly where I had previous sun damage, not on my breast. Per radiologist instructions, continued to apply green tea & calendula lotion, used topical hydrocortisone cream & rash gone within a week.
I’m a year out from radiation & no side effects
