I am starting radiation soon and just looking for any helpful info you ladies have to offer. What creams worked best for you? I did 12 rounds of chemo, had my mastectomy and sentinel node biopsy, and now waiting for radiation and I have no idea what to expect. Thanks Ladies !!!
Louise28, about 15 minutes in all.
The longest part of my daily radiation treatment is the drive to and from. Takes about 3-5 minutes to check in and change into gown then 3-5 minutes to get placed just right on table and zapped. So, to answer your question ... 5 minutes. I'm usually in and out in less than 10 minutes. Had mine scheduled early in morning so it didn't break up the day and hit work traffic.
I just finished 28 treatments and aquafor worked best for me. . The time does go fast.
Aquaphor is what I used & it helps. Don't put any kind of lotion, cream etc. on before radiation. It will be over before you know it. Wishing you the best.
About how long does a scession of Radiation last?
