  • Hi.  My son & DiL bought me a cancer care pack from MooGoo, the moisturiser was lovely.  It's not cheap though. 

  • Hi

    When I went along to the meeting to chat about Radiotherapy, they said they advise to use whatever you use normally. If your skin is happy and it doesn’t irritate, then use would you would normally.

    They did say tho to avoid shaving/hair removal creams though whilst treatment is going on.

    hope that helps a little xx

  • Hi. I'm still to have my radiotherapy,  but have found Aveeno moisturiser and soap free body washes good since my mastectomy op.

    I was given the advice that an electric razor might be better than a wet razor for underarms, as less likely to nick and better to help avoid possible lymphoedema.

    All the best.
