Question and Suggestion please.....

SO-o-o-o- happy for you Nachout818. I finished about three weeks ago and can still feel the little burn when I'm in the sun so make sure you have some good cover-up and sunscreen on your trip. I am super fair-skinned and the treated breast did get considerably "pink" and darker than my other one. And, yes, the radiated breast felt almost hard to the touch some days. That changes pretty quick when you are finished and the skin starts to recover, but there is still some inconsistency in how they feel when you compare them. I will tell you that the nurses are experts where I received treatment and they recommended absolutely nothing else but Miaderm. I started it before radiation and as my skin began to get more and more pink, they told me to use it more than twice a day. Within about 10 days before the end of treatments, I was using it 4 times a day and it really did make a difference. It is expensive, and there is a version with if you have some pain or your skin is really getting irritated. I was a track coach and used Bull Frog sunscreen and there is a SPF50 that you can spray on which is pretty effective. I'm on Femara as well and I am trying to avoid looking for side effects. Oh, btw, the fatigue hangs on for a few more months, I am told. I will tell you that I am tired as well and it's not because of lack of sleep - just feel weary and deep down tired. Good luck the next couple of weeks and enjoy your trip!!

I to had radiation just finished July 13 no major skin issues. My skin is darker but no burns. I was told to use spf 100 in sun. I will be starting femara in two weeks, scared of side effects but sounds like you are doing well on it. Hope I'm the same. Good luck girl!!
