When I went for my planning they said to do the following :
bathe in camomile tea
put one type of cream on the very radiated bit
put another on the areas further away
well I came vback from first radio and made a cup of camomile and put 4 ice cubes in it until it was cool (not cold) and dunked 3 small paper serviettes in it and put them on my boob waited 10 minutes
Then I put the creams on
Half an hour later eveything felt very hot and burny (and this is after 1) - EXCEPT THE AREAS THAT HAD BEEN SOAKED IN CAMOMILE TEA. My ear was burning, my neck was burning and the underside of my arm was burning
SO
I am now sitting here looking like an escapee wet dummy - but feeling much better - on the skin front anyway!
Without wanting to sound horrrible I drank the rest of it and it was far more pleasant than I remembered - don’t worry - I had decanted some off first!
Hey Fiz i expect you’re near the end now but isn’t there anything you coould put on your ear to block the rads? I’m thinking like lead paint which is obviously a really bad idea but you know what I mean… spf 50 before going in?
Hi angie - I did wonder - i may ask them again - they did ask the doctor in the end - she just told me to put the boob radiation cream on the ear aftewards …
the thing is that now i stay out of the sun i have no skin problems - it’s more a question of what’s happeneing inside!
