Strata xrt

Hello Michelle

From the posts I have read everybody buys Strata XRT cream. Some hospitals supply other creams, but I think Strata would be expensive for the NHS to supply.

You can buy the cream from their website.

I used it on day one of treatment and continued for some weeks after (the same tube), a little goes a long way.

Before treatment, I used perfume free baby cream to keep the area being treated well moisturised.

Hope everything goes well on Friday and you get a start date soon.

Thank you x

My consultant hadn’t heard of it, but gave me the OK to use it once she had reviewed the details

so be ready to show them the website with all the details on it. They won’t prescribe it - it’s too expensive. I ordered mine from the company directly. Not sure if I’m allowed to post the website but if you google you are looking for the website that starts gb.stratpharma

It arrived in a couple of days and I will start using it on Monday when my treatment starts. 

The waiting is horrid isn’t it. But things moved quickly once I’d seen the oncologist and I’m starting treatment 3 weeks after that appointment. I’m nervous but glad to get going with it.

Thank you I found the web site but is so expensive isn’t it. 

It really is, but I’m lucky to be able to afford it and I’ll do anything that might make the next couple of months a little easier. 

Hi Michelle F6eb802 

The waiting is definitely the worst bit but once you get a treatment plan in place you will start to feel more in control. With regards to the strata XRT.  I personally didn't use it, but I did have a look on the website but it was to expensive so I used the creams provided by my hospital. Everyone on here who i have seen who has said they used it all bought it privately, I haven't seen anyone who got it prescribed. Good luck for Friday. Sending hugs. Xx
