Strata xrt
you don't use much it gives you a film over the skin .
yes the thought is usually a lot worse . but i found it easy . redness to skin for sure but no bad burns . it went roughly for 15 mins each time . and the skin darker brown after then now faded to natural colour.
yes it's all rather barbaric!! but i find not dwelling on is the best . too much info is bad too as half of it never happens . all the best !!! sending you a big hug . keryn

Thanks for the name. So far I have been using an aloe gel in the daytime and then Vanicream at night. I don't feel any burns. I have only had 3 radiation treatments and only 2 more to go - Mon & Wed of next week - so I will be done before Thanksgiving. It is only taking about 10 min each time. Thankful I don't have any side effects yet. Yes - I know what you mean about having too much info and worrying. I've done plenty of that 🙂

the tiredness is a big thing i still deal with . it seems to hit you more a few months later . but i had six months of chemo before hand . so your body goes thru a lot .
