Radiation and Mepitel Film to prevent Burns?
Hi Ladies. I have often commented on the Mepitel Film that was offered to me during my radiation treatment and how it prevented burns to my skin and how my cosmetic result was very good after treatm...
Hi @au0re, I have had 17 out of 25 sessions so far. I did private chemo too but public for radiation. I think you can be out of pocket quite a lot for private radio. I go to Lifehouse in Sydney, my app is 7.45 & I am out by 8.00, free parking too. I am not using the film, just a mild steroid cream & sorbolene given by the radiation oncologist. My skin is very good so far with only the tiniest irritation in one spot & I have very fair skin. They usually take x rays once a week to make sure there is no swelling, this just adds a few minutes extra. The bolus is used to target the therapy. They use it in two places for me. Everybody reacts differently so I would just see how you go, don't worry too much, a lot of people don't have any problems.
