Radiotherapy

Dear All, I am due to start 21 days of radiotherapy in just over a weeks’ time for breast cancer and would really appreciate any tips or advise.

What cream would you advise, and do I start using it now on the area or wait for after the first session.

Any other tips would be greatly appreciated xxx

  • I used E45 as one of the recommendations from the Macmillan nurse. I used it before treatment and applied it in the morning and evening. E45 has minimal chemicals and no fragrances in it. 

    My treatment was not as long as yours so it might be worth asking your allocated nurse. They may recommend something more suited to longer term radiotherapy.
