How are you managing long-term effects of pelvic radiation?

Thank you!!
I am not using any steroid cream by prescription. Only over the counter things which sometimes I think irritate me more. Cortisone cream that is OTC does nothing. Vagisil helps but I still have inflammation & itchiness. Is there anything you can recommend? Thanks for responding!

Which steroid cream?
Is it over the counter?
Anything OTC you think might help?

I’ve only used over the counter cortisone cream.
Doesn’t help much. Still have inflammation, tenderness & itchiness.
Vagisil gives some relief but hoping there is something else that can bring more relief. Any suggestions?

What steroid cream are you using?

What steroid cream are you using? Is there something over the counter I can use? Any suggestions on what to do or use? Need some help with suggestions on what others are doing! Thanks

how did i do with chemo and radiation

@mobilepmc
how painful was rsfostion

@mobilepmc
I found pelvic radiation to not be painful, though the daily regimen could be mentally exhausting. I did not have any painful or itchy skin issues, and I did moisturize regularly.

@ffr
were u tired

@mobilepmc I had pelvic radiation, both external and internal (brachytherapy). Yes, the fatigue started about half way through the radiation sessions. I followed the advice of my radiation oncology team and kept as active as I could every day. That meant walking every day and I met with my personal trainer virtually two times per week. I think that helped greatly to keep my fatigue at a manageable level.
