Hi PamelaFay,
Thanks so much for sharing your story. Did you receive your radiation while lying on your back or stomach?

I am glad you finished the treatments without severe side effects. Did you use Aquaphor cream for the rash?

I had treatments while lying on my back. I used Mometasone Furoate (prescription cream) twice daily and Aquaphor on the nipple area for extra help. I was told yesterday to continue the cream for another two weeks which I definitely will, as it helps so much with itching and burning discomfort. All in all, it was very tolerable and I am glad I chose to do the radiation.
