I had 20 radiation treatments to my breast. I was told to use corn starch
or Johnson's baby powder. I used it quite liberally several times a day and
never really got any burns or blisters as some people did. The Dr. also
prescribed some cream which I never needed. Also recommended is bathing as
opposed to showering. I did well , as I know you will, and just have one
side that is a little more "tanned" the the other. Good Luck.
