On "Dove" and deodorant
Hi Liz and Becky,
Just saw this thread as I was going to look up fish oil on this site and I wanted to mention, that while I never had radiation, I, too, use "Dove" sensitive skin unscented beauty bar. My skin is sensitive and seems to react to a lot of things, so I've found that Dove really is a nice, neutral soap.
As for deodorant, I changed immediately, after my breast cancer diagnosis, from the standard white, waxy ones on the market, to "Crystalux, 100% Pure & Natural crystal deodorant spray. It is made of up purified water and natural mineral salts and is manufactured by Sedona Products in Scottsdale, AZ and does no animal testing.
I prefer the spray to the roll-on, and I buy this at my local health food store. So far I haven't been told that I've offended anybody, so it must be working! lol
So, relax and enjoy,
Vicki
