Hi, Renate,
I chose to use the Egyptian Magic for the simple fact that I didn't like the feel of Aquaphor along with the fact that it was petroleum based, but I must stress that I did consult my radiation oncologist before using and he did give me the ok after reading the ingredients. I would have an upfront conversation with your doctor and ask why he feels that Aquaphor is the only option (or the best, for that matter). I can only speak for myself when I say that in my mind, I needed to be heard by my doctor in this matter and felt that this was a matter of choice. It went extremely well for me, but I can't say how it would work for others as everyone responds differently. Open up a conversation, but I agree that faith in your doctor is very important. If using Aquaphor is not an issue with you for some reason, then I would follow his direction.
Dx 9/2013, TNBC Stage 3B, Grade 3, and DCIS Stage 0, Bilateral Mastectomy, 4 rounds DD A/C, 2 rounds DD Taxol, 2 rounds DD Abraxane, 33x radiation.
