Thank You for all the very helpful info!!! I saved your instructions. I just discovered this chat room with Mayo Clinic, it has been so helpful with all my questions. I have a hard time getting my questions answered. I have a great Dr. unfortunately bad bedside manner. She talks at you not to you, like she's talking to a child. But hey! I want a great surgeon, not a best friend!!!

Hello, I’m glad you found the information helpful. If you search for “radiation burn” you’ll find quite a few tips and prescription or OTC creams that help preventing the burn. The women on this forum are very generously in sharing their experiences. The key is preventing it from happening, so use it right from the first day until 2 weeks after.
Remember you are not alone. We’re here to support one another. Do not afraid to ask questions or sharing your worries or concerns. We lean on each other to get through this. I found this website very supportive especially during my early of diagnosis. I pray that you sail through the treatments without any problem. Hugs.
