Tara you are 💃🏻 💃🏻 💃🏻 Towards 😎 😎 rads lounge 💃🏻 💃🏻 Speak to your team about creams, lots of tips on here on rads threads, aveno, moo goo, e45, dr organics aloe Vera with t tree gel from Holland & Barrett are ones that some of us have used. If anyone suffering really dry skin from the t chemo, udderlery smooth with extra urea from amazon was one that lots of us used on hands and feet to ease the dry skin t caused. On rads drink plenty of water and just rest when your body tells you too, you can fall asleep watching tv and then think where’s 2 hours gone. 💪 💪 💪 you are all getting there 💪 💪 💪 💕 💕 ✨ ✨ Shi xx ...
