    Congrats, Oscarmom! I have eight more. My entire breast is red, rashy and itchy - but tolerable!

    MJ- You might want to ask your RO about combining Cortisone 10 with Benadryl Cream. I have also been rashy and itchy and that was what my RO told me to do. It has helped quite a bit, the rash is almost gone. I put my lotion on in layers, first the Cortisone 10 (wait 5 mins.), then Benadryl, and last Calendula. When the rash first appeared, she started me with just the Cortisone 10, but after I finished radiation she recommended adding the Benadryl. With eight treatments left, you are almost there!!!

    Good luck!
