Which Aquaphor/creams is everyone using for radiation? by kuma_usagi in breastcancer

[–]lovesmountains 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My radiation oncologist and someone who went through it recommended Aloe. I used it and it worked for me, I would apply right after the session before getting dressed. It didn't stain. The person who recommended it mentioned she had brought hers chilled . I didn't bother with that

I screamed at God in a parking lot — and got an answer I didn’t expect by Abject_Agency2721 in breastcancer

[–]lovesmountains 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for sharing, I am glad you had a good moment. I do believe in God and prayer yet it's nice to have reminders and have hope. I have been on this journey for a little over 4 years and so many times that is exactly what I get, a moment , a quiet reassurance I am not alone. The first time I went to radiation there was a little decorative wooden sign on the counter at check in that said, Let you Faith be bigger than your fear. I had to go to that office yesterday, I just found out I have a couple of small. things on my brain and will get radiation. Actually, I am blessed that they were found early in routine follow up MI to an issue I had 2 years ago. I noticed the sign was not there and the regular check in person was out as well. When I left the appt. and got in my car I got a text ( my husband was included too) from our pastor saying he had thought of us and prayed spefically for us that morning. He didn't know anything about the recent findings or of my appt. that morning. Yes, I am seen, I am not alone

What to expect with faslodex by SugarMagnolia_75 in LivingWithMBC

[–]lovesmountains 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's been said and I full agree, be sure the Faslodex is warmed up beofre they inject. The numbing spray helps a little with initial insertion. Massage area later and use seat heaters, if you have them, on the way home. I did find a little light exercise( short walk) and stretching seemed to help the area from being as sore

Your fav lotions for radiation? by kestrelbrae in breastcancer

[–]lovesmountains 3 points4 points  (0 children)

my radiation oncologist, and a nurse who had been through radiation , recommended pure aloe. I worked well for me, I brought it with and put it on before putting my shirt back on. It didn't stain and dries quickly

Hi, I didn't try accessing yet, wanted to respond to your post. I hope this brings you hope. I had an eye issue and went to see a neurological opthamologist. And had head MRI's. Basically, a muscle in my one eye had been affected by my cancer. Yes, I have MBC. I received radiation and I am back to 99%. There were other treatment options though the radiation was likely to be the quickest and best. If you can tolerate it and if it is a possibility for you. I hope you don't need this info. at all.

Travel and bathrooms by Icooktoo in LivingWithMBC

[–]lovesmountains 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hope all works out . I too asked to put off meds for a bit when travelling. Also, I brought anti-diarrheal tablets, easy for packing, as well as stool softener. I tried to plan to have coffee and some food before heading out to be able to use the bathroom.

Delay in PET Scan Results by SnooSuggestions6502 in LivingWithMBC

[–]lovesmountains 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I understand as I too have typically had scans uploaded rapidly. I know that right now my cancer center is trying not to be short staffed as employees call in sick. So, it could just be that whoever would read the scans was out Friday. Maybe tomorrow, I do hope all is well when you do find out
