Hi Ellen, Soooo good to hear from you. I keep looking for the names we started out with last September ( seems so long ago ). I will be sure to use lots of creams everywhere. Did you apply more than once a day? Ellen, spring is coming!! Love to you, Nancyunknown said:This comment has been removed by the Moderator

hi Nancy,
The most fasinating thing that I found out about radiation was why we even had to have it. Do you? I learned the worst part of our breast cancer is the removal of the tumor. Who would of thought? The reason that radiation is done in such a vast area considering the tumor size, is the possibility of seading itself at the incision of our surgery. With that knowledge I always thought that it was best to do it all.0 -

I cannot stress the fact that you should use your lotions! Use them everytime you think of it. I did and the side effects were minimal. A woman who was going through radiation at the same time did not and boy did she suffer with broken skin.

Thanks to all of you for giving me advice about the lotions. I will apply and apply again, lotion, everytime I think of it. Something new is always a little unsetteling, but I know this radiation will not be as bad as the chemo. Thanks atgain, Love to everyone, Nancycpollard said:Nancy-
