I was diagnosed with liposarcoma and had to undergo a surgery to remove the 17 cm x 5 cm x 5 cm tumor. After 6 weeks I went through a 30 session radiation therapy. The area of my leg that had to be radiated started almost from my knee to my ankle. My doctor warned me that I would see a lot of swelling, burns and would have severe fatigue. I started using this cream 4-5 days prior to the treatment. I applied 3-4 times a day. Once the radiation started, I used this 4-5 times a day and massaged organic coconut oil (got a big container from Costco) every 1.5-2 hours of the day. Before going to sleep, I sealed everything in with aquaphor. It sounds like a lot of work but I never let my skin feel dry. My doctor was amazed at 4 weeks. There was tanning and redness but no major swelling or fatigue. At 4 weeks, my skin itched a bit and my doctor prescribed prescription strength cortizone (2.5%) and it worked! At mid-5 weeks, I did get two blisters but that was because they were using a rubber like tape on my surgery scar to increase the radiation dose to that area. They stopped using it and I did not get any new blisters. Today is my last session (30th) and I am still using this cream and coconut oil and aquaphor to seal at night. My doctor was amazed and said that it was the best case scenario. I have little swelling, my fatigue level is zero. There is no pain and very little itching that is manageable with cortizone. Hope this helps someone who is as anxious about radiation as I was. Read more

I started using this cream a week before radiation, three times a day and increased to four times a day during the four and a half week treatment for breast cancer, and for two weeks after, two to thee times a day. I also kept a small container with me at work and if I felt any irritation at all, I immediately put some on, which reduced the sense of burning. I had very minimal redness, which disappeared in two to three weeks, no blistering, and barely any discomfort. My radiation oncologist was very pleased, and a little surprised since my skin is fair and tends to burn in the sun. In fact, the area that was the worst was at the top of my breast where I had previously had sunburns. I used four tubes over the six weeks I used this cream, putting it on generously--and i do have large breasts. I loved the smell of it, and the feel of it. My friend, who has to opt for a less expensive cream had a much more severe burn, and so I gifted her with a tube, which she said helped with the discomfort and prevented further damage. I wish I had given her more at the beginning of her treatment, but I didn't realize she couldn't afford it and that she would have negative effects from not using it.Also, my husband used it when he had radiation to his chest and he never burned or had discomfort. I think this is an amazing product and i am so glad I used it. Great smell, terrific feel, and wonderful results! Read more

I am blonde with very pale skin, think Nicole Kidman pale. I was scheduled for 6 weeks of radiation (breast cancer) and my doc suggested I use Miaderm cream twice a day. Well, since 10 minutes in the sun can cause me trouble, I used Miaderm up to six times a day faithfully. At the end of my radiation treatments, I was barely light pink, no burning, no discomfort of any kind. On my last day of radiation, a couple of radiologist wanted to know what I had done to treat my skin. They, too, had worried about my skin burning since I am so pale. I explained my use of Miaderm and how frequently I used it. They really were surprised how well my skin reacted. I highly recommend Miaderm, just use it a lot more frequently than the docs suggest. In fact, I now use it as a moisturizer for my face due to all of the good ingredients in it, and my skin loves it. Read more

This really works! Start using the product 3 times a day for at least a week before your first radiation treatment. I had no burn or irritation from my radiation treatments (6 weeks) until the last day of an 8 day "boost" application - and that was just a darkening of the skin (like a tan), without pain. Continue to use for a week or two after radiation ends and even the "tanned" sites began to fade. I've also found that it has great healing properties when used on surgery incision sites and other minor skin irritations. I will continue to stock this in my medicine cabinet even though I am done with radiation. It's truly a great product and worth every penny! One tube lasted most of my treatment - you would want to have two in order to begin applying before and after the treatment period. You won't regret it! Read more

I use this product during my radiation treatment for breast cancer. I had a very aggressive reaction to radiation and from treatment 10 to treatment 25 I was so burned and hurt so much that I tried everything. I thought for sure I would blister but with this cream and aloe vera it worked. No broken skin and I can say after being off radiation 10 days my skin is looking so much better. Pain is gone and I really think using the combination of the two saved me from extensive skin damage and possibly infection. I used the cream at least 3times a day and the aloe vera several times a day for relief from itching and discomfort. Not everyone will experience as much discomfort as I did but I really want to share my story for those that need hope to get through to the end of treatment. Read more

I bought this item for my friend. Unfortunately, her doctor does not recommend this product because of her severe illness. I told the seller this situation and got full refund which is far beyond my expectation. We should consult her doctor before ordering. This is our fault. Read more
