It’s December. Why not, right?
A Disney Cinderella-looking blonde with enviable blue eyes, was one of the techs on site here. She told me I’m taking good care of my skin.
Furthermore, I got a little more radiation education while I was on the slab. As they each looked at my Christmas-colored chest, they mentioned, for the stage I was in, I was increasingly losing elasticity. “Cinderella,” in fact, told me she had to wipe away some of the applied Aquaphor before putting on the Bolus. If that excess was left on, I’d fry like someone getting a sunburn with just baby oil to protect themselves.
Nope. I didn’t want that.
Your Skin…
Your skin, at this twentyish day stage will probably feel extremely uncomfortable and tight. I felt like I was going to crack apart.
Day twenty-one. My radiation nurse gave me a product called Miaderm, in an itty- bitty container.
“This stuff is expensive, so remember, a little goes a long way.”
It helps soothe the cracking and peeling skin when a person reaches this stage of the dosing. It could not have come soon enough.
I was also told to stop using the Aloe Vera gel because it dries out skin. Just straight
Aquaphor and Miaderm, from here on out.
Miaderm:
I highly recommend Miaderm. Yes, it’s expensive. A large tube is $35-40.
My husband, mercifully, ordered a bottle from Amazon. It arrived before
Christmas Eve, one of the best presents I’d ever received.
This product helps by cooling and softening the skin. It was developed by radiologists for these more uncomfortable skin issues. The first time I applied it to my skin, I felt instant relief. Its softening properties helped my cracking skin seemingly mend.
I just know it worked for me and I slathered as much of it as I could…”
