My last reply showed up out of sequence, why did you ask about the drugs and cancer type? Thanks for your input, I have contacted the Dr office, no reply so far. Might have to go elsewhere.
How much does this age people, wish I could see pictures. It’s a tough road, when my insides scream, and beginning to see extreme changes on the outside! Yikes are there moisturizers that help sooth the face and skin?
Come on with the secret recipes. Lol

Going through radiation, it was imperative to moisturize the area 3-4 times a day because of the damage to the skin. I used Udderly Smooth cream which results amazed my radiation team. One of my infusion nurses told me her husband in construction used it on his hand which took a beating daily. It's not at all greasy so it seems to absorb better. Even better is that it's inexpensive and fragrance neutral.

In addition to trying a variety of creams and lotions, I make an oil combo that I love. Use a glass bottle with eye dropper (about two ounce), fill 2/3 with a carrier oil-jojoba, Argan or any that you like. Add 10 drops of lavendar oil, 10 drops frankincense oil and 10 drops myrrh. This will last a long time and is inexpensive. The essential oils can be purchased online and don’t have to be the most expensive-just read reviews.
Best wishes, Cindy
