What a marvelous post. Welcome to the forum. Keep that positive attitude. If the radiation burns are not open, you might try a cream called Biafine which worked for me. The last few treatments fried me so badly, I coudn't turn my head. I found this cream much better than the aquaphor. Actually the instructions say you are supposed to start using it before rad starts to help prevent the burns. It was very new, back in the dark ages when I had rad, so didn't get it until the end. Keep your positive attitude.
Take care,
Eileen
