Radiation tip:
A CLEAN Aloe vera leaf scored in a square, kept in container in fridge, gel applied every 20 -30 mins shirtless ( I watched a youtube video on how to score the leaf).
FYI: CLEAN meaning you know the source of the aloe vera leaf. It can contain bacteria.
Or if youre working or on the go, use Lily of the Desert 99% aloe vera gel. (I used at night or if I needed to get out during the day after radiation)
For 30 day radiation treatment, use a new aloe leaf every week.
I also drank a small glass of Johnsons aloe vera juice, to work from the inside out.
No burning, beautiful skin. Radiologist, Oncologist, Gynecologist and Primary doctor all amazed. For me even after 10 years out and my now senior age, its the best skin on me.
Drink lots of quality water.
(Cute story: my radiologist called me in the 3rd week and was concerned he had mis calibrated me because he didnt think I was burning enough. O the power of aloe vera gel☺️)

I used aloe Vera gel too! No burn. The radiology nurse didn’t like that I wasn’t only using their calendula gel. So I never mentioned it again. Aloe Vera is definitely a hidden gem of radiation!
