Hi Langkawi22,
I too am five weeks post op, after having a lumpectomy and two lymph nodes removed and like you, my scars are healing very well.
vermouth i am due to start radiotherapy in a few weeks and received a phone call from a clinical radiologist, who told me to start creaming my skin from now, so it’s in good condition for the start of treatment. I told her I had bought Baby Aveeno, which is is very gentle (don’t get adult Aveeno) and also have E45 cream and she said either would be fine. I am using the baby Aveeno and my skin is lovely.
i would make sure the wound is properly healed and maybe, jut moisture round it, but do talk to to your Breast Cancer Nurse if you are unsure.
I hop some of this helps and my good wishes for your speedy recovery.
Take care, love and hugs.xx
