Radiation - my experience

Hi @LIttleBlueWren thanks for your informative post. I am Day 6 rads using Mepitel. Have so far been re-wrapped/patched 4 times by 4 different people.  Sometimes the radiation people didn’t like the way it was done as it changed the shape of the breast compared to the original wrapping.  Other times it just started peeling, especially in this heat. I am having cooler showers so as not to generate too much steam (and of course being careful not to get this side wet). My biggest hate in life was getting half undressed for my 2 yearly mammogram when just 1 person would see me. Now it feels like 100 people have seen me in 2 months!  The best ones treat you with respect and attempt to cover you except when absolutely necessary to uncover you. One guy always says ‘excuse me’ before he lifts my gown which is nice. I know it’s not a big deal for the staff, but it is a big deal for me. I didn’t know that I would need to leave the Mepitel on after treatment. Is there a reason for that or are you just waiting for it to come off itself?
 Thanks and all the best. I am interested to know about you Tamoxifen experience when you get there.  Enjoy no more rads!
