You’ll find the radiation treatment the easiest one to deal with. Don’t worry about it. Just make sure you apply cream/aloe vera right after each session (in the dressing room after radiation treatment) and reapply few times through out the day. Wash it off before each treament. Continue apply cream/ aloe vera at least a week after all treatments are done, preferably 2 weeks.
My radiologist didn't want to prescribe cream to prevent radiation burns, so I use fresh aloe vera. I found fresh aloe vera very effective for treatment of sun burn. I figure that the radiation burn is the same as sun burn. I don’t find aloe vera in the bottle is as effective. 🤗
