My husband just got through his radiation on 12/05/06 and is doing pretty well. He did not have surgery first, however. Regarding the skin cream thing he asked the doctor for Biafine cream (we saw it mentioned here on the forum) and it seemed to work great. We had tried a couple other creams first that the doctor had given us, but Biafine seemed much better. It seems to absorb better, smell better and promotes healing well. My husband
