Gee.. I have a lot to look forward too 😱🤨 did u have lymph nodes removed?
I’ve been using aquafor an eucerin, so far just a but of burning and measle looking rash.they told me it might get worse since radiation is still working at least 7 days.
So kind of you for your responses. Thanks again

Good morning- I’m 61. Glad that you are done with this part of the journey. I had 15 days (2023)radiation w/ a booster on left breast. I used calendula cream,but doctor had to call me in prescription(SSD) to help skin heal. I did get breast infection- surgeon called in a strong antibiotic.I did had 3 lymph node removed (all negative). I did have slight swelling( a few months later)which ended up being lymphedema ( caught early)- went to lymphedema specialist she was an OT. I do have fibrosis in scar areas and use vitamin E and massage daily. I currently do yoga, pranayama, walk and acupuncture. Journal your walk. I did and was able to tell doctor when I was feeling what. I’m doing well with my “new” normal life.
