I've read here somewhere this product is good.  Where can I get it and how much do I need?  Is there another product people have had good results with.

    It ws pretty much all I used during radiation (used a little aquafor at the very end in one small spot that had gottten really irritated and a hydrocortisone cream at the end due to a very itchy rash).  It worked great for me.  I found it at a local drug store (not a chain) and was very surprised to find it but they tend to carry stuff like that.  You can get it online.  I got a small bottle and after 6 weeks of rads still have quite a bit left.  I only used it once a day.  My skin did great and at my 6 month checkup my radiologist said my skin looked very good.  Don't know if it was the Emu Oil or if I am just lucky to have skin that tolerated things well.  I am blue eyed and have fair skin that burns easy in the sun.  Good luck!

    at first i tried aquaphor, very messy!!! then i tried pure aloe,  i felt like it dried my skin.  i found the emu oil by chance , i loved it!!!  i was really burnt under my armpit, hurt to put my arm down.  i put emu oil on as often as i could and after a week i was barely pink.  the first time i ordered it on line, i found that gnc sells it, and so does the vitamin shoppe.

    I used it 3-4 times a day and my breast got tan with pink dots on my nipple. No burning at all.
