Scar

I have a scar from my lumpectomy and it is burning during radiation.  I have only had two treatments and it is already blazing.  Any suggestions.

Yes, speak with your Oncology team ... they have creams that can be applied to the area to relieve some of the discomfort from the burning. You might also discuss this with the Radiology Oncologist or the Tech at your next treatment. This is something that will happen but there are things to give some relief.   Regards ....
