I didn't have the problems overall that many have but I was blasted in my clavicular node area and if I even touched it for about 5 weeks it bled. I had creams which helped and I used to carry around a wet (water) baby facecloth in a baggy in my purse that I could put on it if I was out and it was sore. That was my greatest relief. I had no other problem but know a few ladies who are still (after one year plus) red in a square around the area they were radiated. They are not sore but the area is still red. Like everything else....it passes. Best of luck.
