I had 14 radiation boost and the biggest thing for me was the redness got very red ( kept aloe Vera gel and a product called lindiskin that helped tremendously with the burn ) My skin never opened , but I did become extremely tired during those 14 treatments and for about 2 weeks after. I have since fully recovered . And I never wore a bra of any sorest during and post rads for 2 weeks

My boosts totally fried the side of my breast. It got worse when finished, but when it started to heal it went very fast.

My last boosts didn't do any more than what the normal days did.

I also noticed more redness and felt a deeper inner breast soreness. I went without a bra or undershirt during this time. In about a week, these symptoms were gone. Hang in there, it will be over soon.
