Dove soap is great. I prepared myself for getting though radiation by buying two bars of it because it was listed in the radiation guide book they gave me. During all that oozing nasty mess, I can fondly remember the relief I got just getting some of that cleaned off of me in the shower. However, I must admit there were times I felt so ill from it all that I had to "talk" myself into getting into the shower. Yes, that sounds very silly looking back on it, but I was just shuffling back and forth to the bed and sometimes I knew that I needed a shower, but did I really want to expend all that energy taking one? One of my major talking points to myself to get into that shower was "ahhhh it's going to feel really GOOD once you get started" Then, of course, the shower felt so good, I'd have to talk myself into getting OUT of the shower.
