Hi there and thanks for getting in touch

I'm sorry to hear how you are feeling after the radiotherapy and appreciate how unpleasant these side effects can be.

As I am sure you are aware radiotherapy treatment continues to work for a couple of weeks after finishing so sometimes side effects can get worse before they start to get better.

The side effects you are experiencing are common as you will know and moisturising and following the advice from your own specialist team is the best thing to do.

If the radiologist has sent you activheal hydrogel and dressings I suggest you try these and see if they settle your symptoms down to make things more bearable. Do remember you can also take pain medications if needed as well until things start to get better.

Hopefully you will turn a corner soon where the skin starts to heal and repair itself. Do let your own specialist team know if things aren't improving or you are concerned at all so they can advise you further.

I hope you start feeling better soon

Take care

Naomi
