Re: Radiation Advice?
Hi Deb,
The one thing that helped me a lot was Vigilon Primary Wound Care. It is a cool strip of gel that normally keeps a wound from drying out. It keeps it moist. It is not messy They gave it to me the last week and a half of rad. It helped me out so much! They are quite expensive and they would only give you one at a time. So I asked for some everyday and the last day one of the RN's gave me a whole box and a half. Which I used everyone of them. especially when I blistered. Because of the strips I did not have a lot of blistering. My skin healed quickly and no one can even tell I had Rad. Good luck and Gods blessings to you in your last phase of treatment. I too pray it is your last!
Oh one more thing Lotion, Lotion, Lotion! They will give you a jar of some great lotion I can not recall the name right now.
Your Friend
Nancy
