Well done Sharon, that bit is over!🙏😃. After my radiation I treated my skin several times a day with moisturiser , brand recommended by radiation nurse, Dermaveen, and a zinc cream, Sudocream. It has kept my skin well and intact. Wishing you a full and speedy recovery.🙏🤗🤗.
Went to physio yesterday and the young lady treating me is excellent. I feel great after a session but unfortunately the fibroses scarring retracts again after a little while, so a constant stretching regime is required. She noticed I am getting some oedema in my upper arm. She said this is not uncommon long after the radiation is over.!!☹️

I've my radiation soon & wondered what your treatment was. How many Gy & and fractions.
Was it 40Gy in 3weeks all 3 areas or 26Gy in 1week
I'm really concerned about having my lower lung radiated. Did you find that an issue or effect your breathing post radiotherapy.
Thanks
