Re: Starting 5th week of rads next week.

May the plant is better but I used 100% aloe vera gel but it was a packaged product called Fruit of the Earth. You can probably buy it in a drugstore but you can buy anything online.

Your rad onc can also prescribe a silver nitrate cream that is good. Like you, I burned and I was so diligent. It just happens to some of us. It will be over soon and it heals fast.
