My Journey with Breast Cancer
In 2002, at the age of 35, I was diagnosed with Stage II breast cancer. I underwent breast recovering surgery (lumpectomy and lymph node removal), 8 rounds of chemotherapy and 35 radiation treatments. During the course of my radiation therapy, I experienced painful burns to the radiated areas around my breast. Desperate for relief, I used my pharmacy expertise and developed a skin-cooling compress that significantly lessened the burning and provided me the relief I was seeking. Over the years, I have shared my skin-cooling formula with both women and men receiving radiation therapy for cancer treatments who also experienced similar relief when using my product. My hope is that every radiation therapy patient can benefit from my product while they endure their treatments.
I was granted my patent on August 8, 2023. Patent No: US 11,717,437 B2

Application

Benefits
Use of a skin-cooling composition may lessen the degree of your skin burning, especially when applied directly after radiation therapy.
Dosage and Directions
Recommended use is a minimum of 1x per treatment, but as radiation therapy continues, you may find the need to increase to 2-4 times per day based on skin irritation.
Having used the Bosom Buddies treatment compresses for last 6 weeks, there was very little burning on my already tender neck area until the last 2 treatments where I was given Silvadene cream. The use of the compresses and Aquaphor daily helped prevent any real irritation or reddening almost the entire course of therapy, which for me, was a very intense small field of radiation
