Hi Nango

I used radiance skin gel from the Bristol cancer care available from www.shopatpennybrohn.com

It took the soreness away from me my skin now looks suntanned

Hi Nango
I had much the same operation as you & agree about the chemo!
I have just posted on "Survivor Stories" as it is now a year to the day since my op.
My skin around my scars broke down towards the end of R/T and the new skin that replaced it was better in some ways. Now it is much the same colur as the rest of me. All I used was aqueous cream, time did the rest.

Hi all still carn't work out how to put my pic up on my profile {im a bit of a dummy when it comes to the pc }ive orderd the radiance gel i hope it works im wk 4 post r/t and still red faced just where my beard would grow not that ive ever had a beard but im a bit sick of the double looks people give when they look at me i can deal with the scars but not half a red face any way enough of my whinging im feeling good and happy i found this site
