My mum is due to start radiotherapy in the next couple of months once she gets her oncotype result back. She asked me this week for a pre treatment moisturiser which is hypoallergenic and non scented for mother’s day. On this basis I’ve decided to make her a hamper with a few bits in, does anyone have any suggestions on moisturisers and body washes that I could put in the hamper or any other suggestions?

Oh what a lovely idea,
When she has her rads planning appointment they will go through everything with her then but I know when I had my rads I was advised to use E45 cream and also 99.9% aloe vera. They ask you not to use deoderant with “metal” in whilst having rads, that is any which contains aluminium, Boots do a Pic Rock roll on which is a bit strange as you have to apply it to damp skin or wet the top of it before you apply but I used it without any problems during mine. A good book would be a must whilst she is waiting for her appointment, I got myself a really good puzzle book.
With regard to body washes I just used Simple.
Good luck to your mum and if she wants to she can go on to the monthly Radiotherapy section on this thread, the March 2018 has already been started. She will get loads of help and support from the lovely ladies who are going through and like your mum about to start treatment.

Lovely idea! The only thing that shouldn’t be used is stuff with SLS in. Holland & Barrett have good ranges.
That’s great. Thank you for your reply x
