I had 35 days of radiation. I used Dove body wash and a Calendula lotion. I also took moisturizing epsom salt baths. I ate a special diet. I only ate seafood for protein. I also ate a lot of dark fruits like black grapes, blueberries and blackberries. I had one small breakout, about the size of a quarter. Doctor prescribed a silvadene cream. It cleared up in two days. Take care, sending prayers.

Thanks LauraRude I will try and look at that book up. Good luck.

Thanks Hope62. The long term effects do cause concern. Thank you for this information. Really thanks everyone so helpful and glad to have this site.

I drank a bottle of water before radiation. Another right after plus 6 more throughout day, and used Glaxel Basel cream as soon as I got back to dressing room and in night before bed. Also walked 4-5 miles each day. Physically felt fine through 25 treatments albeit the thoughts of long term effects caused a lot of anxiety.

Thank you
