Hi, I’m so glad I’m 4 weeks in and still functioning at a reasonable level ( well until 3 in the afternoon!)
im sore, but managing, and have started using hydrogel, which helps, but how often can I apply it? The radiographers seem to say twice a day, but have you others used more, as after going to the loo I wash area, and then it feels sore again and Aveeno makes it sting?
Any suggestions gladly received!

Hi catsmum ,
This is great to hear you’re nearing the end of your treatment still feeling ok.
Regarding creams I didn’t use hydrogel but my team supplied me with QV cream which is similar to an aqueous cream & Flaminal, both of these I used in copious amounts! Each time I went to the loo I washed rather than wiped like you & lathered the cream on each time, the only time I wasn’t lathered in cream was before my radiotherapy sessions as I was told not to have any creams on when going for treatment. Hopefully someone that has been prescribed hydrogel will be along soon to offer you some more useful advice.
Nicola
