hi! just to add in that i also had mepitel for my 25 radiotherapy sessions and experienced no real problems with the skin it covered, and have very little radio tan (while the armpit where it was only applied for the last 15 days became quite sore and also peeled). it was re-applied at the beginning of each week, and i kept it on for a week after my final sesh. it was standard at my clinic. i used Moo Goo on the treated area after the mepitel was removed.
i also prepared my skin the 3 weeks prior to starting treatment by applying organic rosehip oil 3/4 x day. my radio onc recommended this oil. i used Trilogy (as it's 100% rosehip).
re. supplements: i too read differing guidance re. supplements so i ran my naturopath script passed my radio onc as i felt more comfortable going with what they recommended :smile:
i hope this helps! goo luck! lvlw xx
