Start my radiation treatment tomorrow (Monday). My doctor recommended aquafor, miaderm or botanical moisturizing gel. As anyone used pure organic coconut oil? I was thinking of using coconut oil at night before bed for additional moisturizing? I have read this also helps? Any thoughts on this matter?

I used an alcohol free, pure aloe vera gel. Kept a small one in my purse and a larger one in the fridge, that felt so good. I didn’t try coconut oil but it sounds like it is worth a try.
Do you have a plan to treat yourself in some way each week during treatment. I did this with family and it was fun?
