Hi Rosetta
For what its worth I had my Mepitel applied a lot! Sometimes towards the end every 2nd time. The annoying bit about creams around it and the places it has lifted is that it makes it lift more. I suggest that on Monday dont apply cream that morning after your shower on the areas where it needs to be reapplied as it will just fall off again a couple of hours later especially in this hot weather. Even though the nurse will try and clean the area it wont stay on. The pieces need to be as large as possible as little slices will simply peel off. I only ended up with one original piece by the end of treatment.
It certainly does make you itch. If it gets too bad ask your doctor for a small amount of steroid cream and it will make it so much more comfortable.
I perservered for 5 weeks during radio and then another 10 days after that and it was well worth it in the end. Its been 6 or so weeks since I finished and its looking great.
All the best
