Sun protection after axillary node dissection!

Hi!

I live on the coast so enjoy days out on the beach!
I had a node dissection 3 weeks ago and know not to get sunburnt but could I use a factor 25 sun cream!
I am dark and olive skinned!

Hi Sandra, I’m quite Mediterranean complexioned and my BC nurse recommends factor 50. However, I am going to have radiotherapy which is obviously of some concern. No sunbathing at all with that until hospital say otherwise. Sorry if this isn’t what you were hoping for. X

Hi Annie!

I did buy factor 50 but not sure whether to cover arm with clothing as well! Panic mode!

I will be having radiotherapy at some point as well with a holiday to Cyprus to follow but I will take hospitals advice!

Thankyou

Sunscreen is better to make the most. It is much better for our health and cheaper for our wallet. How to do this can be found here tanoholic.com/diy-lotions-oils/
