Maybe I misunderstood--but I thought the techs suggested moisturizing some days before the radiation treatment so as to get the skin in good shape.. You are right--never before on day of.

I was told when I have radiation to not have any cream on at least 4 hours in advance so I won't do that. I will put it on at night and radiation is about 11:30 am and then will put it on. Thanks for the info.
