Radiation after lumpectomy

@sandramj I have been for my rad plan last week with treatement due to start pending my gene test result. After my plan, the nurse put a sample of mepitel on me & told me to try it for 24 hrs to see if I had a skin reaction, which i didn't. It was GREAT! I couldn't see it or feel it. She told me that through the treatment, I will keep it on from day 1 & leave it on for the entire treatment. If it starts to come off or starts to peel, they just replace it. You leave it on over the weekend too & you DON"T put any creams on as it takes the place of creams & creams will make it come off. It protects the skin from the rad, no need for creams & it provides a barrier so your clothes don't rub so win, win! They haven't told me any cost so it would all be included in my rad cost which is $2K through the private system. i have told a few ladies about it on this forum & it is nice to offer something that is reasonably new to make our lives better. You really are an inspirational women! All you have been through it makes me feel guilty when I am so worried about my gene test. I will check out your meditations & try to relax & feel the touch of the angel you sent me. I know I have many friends & family praying for me & it helps to get you through. I don't know what I will do if my gene test comes back positive but I know I will have the knowledge & guidance from you & the ladies here to help & support me. You are a wonderful soul & a blessing to this forum...a "guardian angel" watching over us!! much love & hugs xxxx
