What are the risks of sunbathing two months post radiation treatment for uterine cancer?

I would talk to my oncologist about this, but here is some information I found:

Each time radiation therapy is delivered, small amounts are absorbed by the skin over the area being treated. Over time, redness and irritation similar to a sunburn may occur. Because of this, it is necessary for all patients receiving radiation therapy to take special measures to protect their skin from any additional damage due to exposure to the sun. Although all exposed skin is at risk, of greatest concern is any skin in the area being treated.
Even after treatment is completed, it will be necessary for you to follow some important steps to minimize exposure to the sun for a period of time. http://www.oncolink.upenn.edu/experts/ar... there are tips on how to avoid sun exposure here.

Sunbathing promotes cancer. It is best to avoid the sun. It should be all about repare and recovery for your body at this point.
