Abbydog said:My surgery and chemo were private. That was well covered by BUPA, I was recommended to go public for Radiotherapy due to huge price gaps. Due to COVID, I only had one face to face appointment prior to starting R/ T. That Appointment was Dr, Nurse and scan. I’m sure you will see a nurse. They would advise you.

Abbydog said:That’s a good question ChezaH. It’s so hard to know. I’ve stayed with the Mepitel because of what I’ve heard and that it is provided. The nurses are good about replacing it anytime. I’m good so far. But only finished 15 of 25 treatments. Are you doing it privately or public? Were there nurses there to talk to?
Leia said:I used Strata XRT and was very happy with it. It is quite expensive if the Centre doesn’t provide it, but I got a 40% discount using the code my radiation Centre gave me.. it’s a gel which you apply very thinly before radiation & again at night. The nurses applied it for me the first session just to show me how it goes on. I’d get up and slather on moisturizer, wait two hours then apply the gel. It also means You have the weekend free. The instructions say to use it 24/7, and keep using after rads finishes until you see no more improvement.It forms a thin film which works the same as Mepitel.
good luck with it, hope it all goes well for you.
