Supraclavicular fossa radiation
Hi Debster, yup ... 25 sessions and a bit of a Nasty burn on the collar bone but it healed nicely and didn't leave a scar. Use the unperfumed E45 cream. Lash it on the night before you have radiotherapy but ensure to wash it all off in a shower the morning of radio, or it can cause problems. After radio, put the cream back on. Make this a daily routine as it will keep your skin supple and less prone to bigger burns. Skin care is utterly essential. Take care and I hope it goes well for you.

As the other reply look after your skin but use unperfumed stuff. I find Cetraban is good it is a bit more pricey but it lasts for ages.
The only way I can describe it is like really bad sunburn but it does fade.
Good luck xx
Yes I had it with no problems whatsoever other than a bit of tiredness throughout treatment. Lovely friendly staff at the hospital made it a pretty pleasant experience overall. Best of luck! x
