Dear All, I am due to start 21 days of radiotherapy in just over a weeks’ time for breast cancer and would really appreciate any tips or advise.
What cream would you advise, and do I start using it now on the area or wait for after the first session.
Any other tips would be greatly appreciated xxx
Hi I used Flamigel RT and found it great. If your skin gets hot or red keep it in the fridge.
i didn’t start until my radiotherapy started and had minimal problems . Keep using it until your review as sometimes it takes a while for reactions to come out .my radiotherapy wasn’t to bad and I hope you have the same experience .
