Thank you all so much for great advice. I finished my radiation treatments today!
I’ve been using a water based cream by Glaxo and a Calendula cream that also contains olive oil. I will need a prescription for cortisone cream. I’m in Canada and we can only get a 1% over the counter. Hoping I won’t need it.
I somehow missed the post from Carrie on the green tea. (I wonder if I’m navigating this site properly, I just saw it today). I will pass it on to a friend who is starting her radiation tomorrow.
So far no reaction but I know it can come out after treatment, fingers crossed! I’ll keep using the creams for a couple of weeks.
Now the decision on letrozole, anastrozole or tamoxifen. I have done some research and, from what I have read , letrozole and anastrozole are more targeted than tamoxifen. However, I already have arthritis and dread making it worse with either of them. My oncologist said either letrozole or anastrozole are his recommendation.
Back to the gym to get in better shape to support my old bones.
This site is so valuable, thanks to all of you. Nice to know we are not alone!
