Caring for yourself during Treatment:

Seek out help from support groups and friends ahead of time.
Get plenty of rest during treatment and follow your doctor’s orders.
Tell your doctor about any medications, vitamins or supplements you are taking to make sure they are safe to use during radiation therapy and eat a balanced diet.
Treat the skin exposed to radiation with special care. Stay out of the sun.
Avoid hot or cold packs. Use lotions and ointments only after checking with your doctor and clean the area with warm water and mild soap.
Good dental care can reduce the risk of mouth infections and tooth decay.
