Radiation Therapist here ( 20 years experience) and former breast cancer patient who also received radiation from my radiation friends. I agree with most of what Dr. Amy stated but would like to clarify about the ointments. Do not have any ointments, lotions or skin creams of any kind on your skin prior to getting your radiation treatment. This will make your skin reddening worse. A few more tips would be: Keep the area getting radiation exposure out of the sun. You do not want to get a sunburn and then get radiation. For breast patients getting radiation, do not wear deodorant under the arm you are getting treated. You can wear a natural, aluminum free deodorant if your doctor approves it. Metal tracings in the deodorant like aluminum, can interact with the radiation and cause your skin to breakdown. Part of our job as a therapist is to keep an eye on your skin and we will grab the doctor to look at it if needed or if there are concerns. Most places where you receive radiation you will see your radiation oncologist once a week to check in with you and see how you are doing. He/she will also check your skin at this time. Good luck to you all. ❤
That what all doctors from some of the best cancer centers in the world recommend! NOTHING, not even oily shower gels, no creams, especially no ANY oil, during radiations! After the last treatment you can use as much but nothing before the last one.
Hello i have just finished 15 session of radiation 20 More to go but i feel weak i have ulcers I can't poop properly , im only asking my good Lord to give me strength to finish this journey strong ❤
Praying for you 🙏
I’m praying for you and with you. I’m having my breast cancer lumpectomy soon & am researching all after care.
Praying for you.
You got this 🙏
Praying for you.
Praying for you Martha! Psalm 91 - ”If you say, “The Lord is my refuge,” and you make the Most High your dwelling, no harm will overtake you, no disaster will come near your tent.“
Psalms 91:9-10 NIV
Thank you for a great video! I'm currently just finishing up 5 weeks of radiation (3 more sessions left) and would recommend that anyone going through radiation keep up with their exercise program. I work out (strength training and cardio) about 5 days a week and haven't experienced any fatigue. I read that this was a great way to limit the fatigue and I can attest to the fact that it WORKS!
Thank you
I had the 3 weeks of more intense radio therapy vs 5 weeks. I used the cream they gave me after treatment and before bed. 3 times on weekend days. My breast changed color but never had itching or pain. I feel it was do to being faithful with the cream . Also wearing a soft fabric sports bra helped. Felt tired once in a while. Eating properly also helped.
I finished 30 treatments (6 weeks) last week. It is no joke! There was no marking. It was all done with cameras/laser lights. It’s now peeling and sensitive ( hurts to wear a bra and hurts not to wear it) 😅. Some people don’t realize how exhausted you are.
I'm getting it in like 4 to 5 weeks, still have to do the lumpectomy. I don't want to take off work but people keep telling me I better.
I hope you are both better now! 🙏🙏
I brought up nutrition questions and hydration to my RO, was told it didn’t matter. On my own I researched a diet for healthy skin and focused on protein. These were test questions that he failed big time. I also asked for an idea of a lotion with no alcohol, he had none and staff refused to help find one. I was on my own but ended up with the healthiest radiated skin my PS worked with doing my own thing, including making my own organic salve. Was not well liked but had good results. Yes, my care was switched to someone else for many reasons.
Radiation was a booger! Sooo much more on my body than chemo! I had 10 rounds of whole brain treatment. Im almost 3 weeks out. I have no hair, lost more than during chemo, and NO TASTEBUDS!
Hoffe es wird besser tag bei tag...tapfer bleiben...sonne I'm herzen...
Have your taste buts returned I lost 25 lbs and was already trying so I look horrible I feel good but I just want the dry mouth and tastebuds to return and they are I can taste again but the dry mouth and weird taste make it hard to enjoy food. Help!!!!
I'm I guy possibly heading into prostate radiation soon, this video is very helpful. thank you.
Thank You so much xo
OK so what about the damage that can be caused internally like how to help prevent damage to the heart and to prevent lung cancer? Why is that never talked about.
That's the part that has not been mentioned in few videos that I have watched. Radiotherapy is my mums next line of treatment @ 68 but the surgeon have reservation about that. Furnish me with any information please, we need to take an informed decision
@@suzymoon2067 Thank you
I used manukau honey cream, because my skin was angry and this really helped.
I had a friend use emu oil during radiation.
I had brachytherapy for my breast cancer and would recommend it for anyone that qualifies. One day for catheter insertion - I had 19. Then 8 fractions in 4 days. After the last treatment the doctor just pulled all of the catheters out at the same time. Lots of rest during the week.
Thank u so much 💕💕💕💕👌👌👌👌❤️❤️❤️❤️🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
I have side affects right away when I get treatment on my face and neck.
The radiothrapy department used marker covered by a small round, clear bandaid.
Was urged to use a homemade green tea spray after treatments. ( At least 3 times ).
Ladies. Not only a super soft bra. But take yarn and reduce the width of your bras side under your armpit. Your skin is super fragile & sensitive. Guard yourself from injury.
Hello I have question Can you tell if someone has thyroid cancer from taking blood work from the arm
Why doesn’t anyone talk about the long term effects of
I had chemo & about 3 rounds of radiation to my leg after the tumor was removed in 2016. Now, in 2024 I have lymphedema in my leg that the doctor says won’t go away.😢
@@lisbeth6911 I have a chronic rib fracture and fibrosis
Hello Dr. Amy please reply my question i am 22 yrs and i get only 1 ct scan of appendix and ct scan reports are normal but i am very stressed and worried about that ct scan cause cancer in future please tell me how do i detox my body and keep safe from ct scan side effects
hello, can vanicream be used?
What about later on? I mean years later, when the area that was "cooked" turns into another kind of cancer? What about the boils that burst and bleed, burst and bleed, burst and bleed? Until not even a thick, Kotex can contain it. What about when your whole chest looks like it has been scooped out by an ice cream scoop? But it spreads and spreads and keeps spreading?Finally, the angiosarcoma apreads to an organ, and you pass away 15 years later? This is what happened to my mom. Why don't we talk about that?
Oh sweet girl I am so sorry that happened and you had to watch that. God bless you. I hate cancer it has claimed 5 immediate family members from 2015-2020. And I now have throat or larynyx I caught it in a early stage 2. I'm praying and have already went through my radiation treatment. I wish they'd find a better treatment and a real cure. God has blessed me with a certain peace about it. But I'm 50 and have 5 kids that are very bonded to me my two youngest are 12 and 15. Too young to lose me. My three oldest kids have already lost their dad so they're terrified.
How about coconut oil
Can you take Juven while doiny radiation?
Can those creams be used on the head? I had radiation on my left temporal lobe.
I finished radiation Nov. 2022. Will the cream still help?
I lost some of my hair.
What about unrefined extra virgin organic coconut oil? You did not mention that. Coconut oil helps with wound healing.
I have terrible late side effects from it . Wish I’d never done it !
Can you please share if it is okay for you to share. I heard it can cause lung cancer and heart problems.
@@adrianavaca2417 not sure about my heart ( already had issues ) but I’m not the same since . Hate wearing clothes I’m in such pain in that area through to my back
Radiation of head & neck cancers is serious. Affects the teeth, mouth, and eating.
Can I try red bull for energy
Red bull is extremely toxic and can cause cancer. If you are tired, drink coffee or if you dont like coffe, buy coffein pills in your drugstore
DR. AMY, MY DAUGHTER WHO IS 45, HAS DONE THE INFUSION/CHEMOTHERAPY SINCE LAST YEAR 2022 & 2023, FOR SARCOMA METASTATIC CANCER. AND NOW THIS YEAR 2023 HER FOUR STAGE CANCER HAS SPREAD TO HER LUNGS, ONE IS 10CM & 5CM IN SIZE, WILL THE RADIATION CURE IT?
I have a sarcoma called leiomyosarcoma in my left ankle. Radiation has been a nightmare. 6 to go,but my foot looks like it's been in a fire. Can't walk. Sarcoma are rare cancers,doesn't respond to radiation or chemo,so don't know why they use it,guess it's all they have then surgery. But I know survival rate is very low qirh these cancers,why I am thinking about not being sick anymore from tge treatments that won't help anyway. I think I am done. I may have cancer,but I felt fine until they started to poison me with radiation. They're using the highest dose on me,tho pet scan shows no tumors anywhere else right now,but that can change tomorrow, for it travels thru blood stream not lymphatic system. What few stories I found out there,even after doing everything, even surgery it comes back. I really didn't want to go thru this,my family told me I had to try. For what? Waste precious time I could be enjoying life instead of Dr's and treatments everyday. An it's just the beginning. Make memories while you can. You're gonna have to be strong so she can. Many prayers for you both.
What about radiation on the brain, what lotion can you use on your head? What about the hair that doesn’t grow where you get radiation?
I also finished radiotherapy in january and now after 5 months my breast hurts and feels hot
Mine did too. It finally settled down.
@@Ranchladytmd did it take long? So scared for recurrence :(
Do what you can to not get cancer. We all are carrying plenty of cells of cancer but your body immunity isn't killing them off. Figure out why.
I refuse permanent tattoos. You don’t have to have it done.
They are so small, they look like a small mole, bearley noticeable.
