I did not notice an increase or decrease in dryness. I did use a lot of aquaphor and continue to do so daily. I also take 1000mgs of fish oil once a day. good luck with your treatments.

@A MyBCTeam Member, I agree with Jilly, use lots of Aquaphor before you start radiation and continue to do so through your treatments. It will relieve a lot of the burning, itching, and redness. I still had problems around treatment number 30 of 35, but the techs said that was pretty common, so don't be discouraged if you do too. I hope this helps, and good luck...hugs, Lisa

My response was meant for the post radiation effects; not during.

If I stink so be it, lol...

Oh, also don't shave underarms, use no deodorant with aluminum, only natural, I wash the pits and that's it, no perfume, deordarant etc...
