My two week radiation
6 weeks after my lumpectomy (margin and sentinel node clear) I had radiation 10 times without any itching, burning feeling, yes it's long way to go with 20 times more.
Just to let every one know that there is a protection film called Mepitel which my radiation oncologist recommended to put over the right breast from day one and it is be left there until the end of the radiation. The film is very thin like a glad wrap and I can freely do my regular arms exercise as usual. I also checked the research done on the film which indicated that it provide 98% reduction on the skin side effects. So fingers cross that I am in that 98%. Hope this info help.
Cheers
