I think anything is going to be better than the zero recommendations made by her oncology team
I bought this for my mother after reading reviews online from patients receiving radiation. She started using it 1 week prior to radiation on her face. She is only in the 2nd week of her treatments so will update later regarding her completed treatment. Update: Mom is on Day 13 of her radiation to her jaw/face and is experiencing mucositis and redness to her face. We are still using Miaderm and she is experiencing very little inflammation to her skin (on the outside). FYI: I showed the radiation oncologist Miaderm and he looked at the ingredients list and said it has alcohol do not use it.I told him it was developed by radiation oncologist and Phase III clinical trials. And that it was not the type of drying alcohol. He would not even listen to me. He said only use aquaform (which is a petroleum based product-YUCK)otherwise "you are going to come and say my skin is drying and blame me b/c I said it was okay to use" He needs a refresher on chemistry - Yes the word "alcohol" is in the ingredients list but it is ceteryl alcohol different from the fermented alcohol that is drying. After leaving the clinic,  I pulled up the ingredient list for Aquaform and it had "lanolin alcohol" as an ingredient.. again it is a fatty conditioning "alcohol" not the drying kind-- urgh I wish I had known this to show him aquaform ingredient list!! Do not let the arrogance of doctors stop you from finding the best product for you.It is unfortunate that we can't always have doctors who will take the initiative to learn about a new product, research it, and then give us their opinion rather than just dismissing the patient.  I don't expect doctors to know the newest and best products on the market, but I do expect them to be open to learning about new products that may be helpful to their clients.
