I Am Starting Radiation On Monday. What Lotions Do You Recommend?
Resveratrol supplementation protects skin cells from excessive damage to rads. Best started 2 weeks before rads. I was treated by rad oncologist who also treated with immunnotherapy and had me on several antixodents and nutritional supplements. You have your rads with clean skin, but after each treatment I applied magnesium gel which has healing properties and then a moisturizing cream, non paraben, natural ingredients. I had 30 rads to my clavicle nodes with no blisters, no peeling. I did have a very red neck area, but it cleared up a few weeks after treatment done.
This is great Wendy. Thank you. I will then go to the office tomorrow with a list of questions. Bummer about the pool (!) but it makes sense !
I thought it was ridiculous about the pool cuz I would go to the gym sometimes BUT then after about 20 radiations then you begin to understand, you look and feel sunburned at the end it looks like someone put an iron on your chest I had 34 radiations its the nipple that gets veryyyy sensitive you just have to treat that side of you body like you would a newborn baby skin, don't rub with a wash rag or anything... :)
I had eucerin, prescription lotions, radiation lotions etc, I ended up using Aloe Vera , its soothing and natural but im sure every single person will give you a different answer.. :)
I start Monday. My doctor had me get a hydrocortisone cream & Fruit of the Earth Pure Alloy. Said they will prescribe any others I may need.
