Anxiety over radiation burns: What can I expect?

I used Cera Ve. It has to be water based according to my nurses. You only apply after radiation, and before bed. I had 18 treatments, both breasts, and thats what I did. I did not wear any deodorant until after radiation. I did not have any burning.

Thanks for the info. I will apply the cream before bed then nothing until after my radiation treatments at 11:30 am - they recommended I bring it to put on right after that. I was surprised after my Lumpectomy and Sentinel Node Biopsy I didn't really sweat so I didn't use any deodorant - I guess that is because I am 59 yrs old. I may opt not to put on deodorant either - but just in case I got the brand Native.
