What are some things I can't do during radiation therapy?
I have a tumor on my leg and based on my doctors' recommendations, I'm undergoing radiation therapy to treat it. Are there things that I shouldn't do during treatment?

Doctors will not want you to wash the area with soap (only water) or apply any cream except the one prescribed by your doctor. You should be able to take your regular medications or any food you normally eat.
Take care of the skin and don’t expose it to conditions that would cause it to hurt or bleed excessively.
