Radiotherapy

Do carry on with the aqueous cream. I slapped it on religiously but my skin only broke down two weeks AFTER treatment had finished. This is because you carry on 'cooking' for a while after treatment has finished. The tiredness also can continue after treatment ends.

Good luck with your treatment.

Am new to group. Was diagnosed with breast cancer last week. Got to have MORE tissue taken away on Monday and then radiotherapy. How bad is it

Hi Gaco,

Slap it on as often you think you need to. It wont do you any harm and will help as the treatment continues. All the best.

Take care and be safe.Big Hugs Love Sarsfield.xxx

Wench53,

I had a second surgery to clear margins (look at my profile page). It was fine - only one night in hospital. Radiotherapy is also fine - provided you take care and listen to all the advice about skin care. Any questions feel free to send me a PM.

Best wishes,

Hi Gaco

I was using the cream as soon as I finished each session of radiotherapy (in the toilettes you understand!).  However, my skin became really red and itchy a couple of weeks after the last session.  My last session was on 29th January, and here we are in July and my skin has yet to come back to normal.  I'm still using aqueous or dermol, still washing with Simple etc.  Thankfully my the skin of my face has improved and I can now use my make up!

All the very best
