Docs in Boston told Mary to cover her RND incision with zinc oxide during any sun exposure for one full year, and to use SPF 45 on any radiated areas. Otherwise they warned she could have "radiation recall" and her skin would become very red and swollen in reaction to the sun. That doesn't sound pretty, does it??
