Radiation and Mepitel Film to prevent Burns?

Hi Ladies. Yes every person's skin is different. At Wollongong Hospital they have been using the Mepitel Film for over a year just on breast cancer radiotherapy patients with success. It was used in New Zealand for burns patients. I had a number of Mepitel film pieces placed over me before radiotherapy (with bolus). I tried to preserve the Mepitel film by having a hand towel in a plastic bag and placed over breast area (covered with Mepitel film) when showering. It does start to peel at edge where there is movement. The centre chest area became itchy and red and blistered after a week, so the film was removed from just the centre area. I used sorbolene in centre area as the film over the right implant breast and under the armpit was still secured after 2 weeks. I then stupidly removed the Mepitel film myself at home and it hurt. Nurses said I should have been in the shower to remove it as some skin cells would have peeled off when I removed it raw. Just wanted to see if underneath was burnt and to allow skin to remove. Big mistake. If you can handle the Mepitel film, just cut the frayed edges but keep it on as long as possible. The hospital will advise you on best creams and solution for your skin. For me, as I had no Mepitel film on for last 2 weeks of radiotherapy, I saw gradual burning over skin with blistering in centre. I used sorbolene and hydrocortisone creams and antihistamines and additionally pain medication - recently. I woke up the other day to my armpit being stuck to my arm and as I gently pulled my arm up, there was a layer of skin missed underneath just below the armpit (3cm x 2cm). Since finishing 25 zaps on Monday 10/4/17, I been daily been dressed by community nurse using saline, solvugel on a vaseline type mesh with 5 pads over, then taped then a large wadding and finally an elasticised stretchy dressing to hold everything in place and over my right should like a sling. It bled again in centre last night before bed, so I carefully moistened the dressing before taking it off as it had stuck to colagulated blood. I washed wound and put on creams and rolled up a large towel for under my arm so armpit was free from touching skin. Took 3 antihistamines before bed. Restless night and woke up to yellow sticky gunk on centre of chest and stains on bed sheets through to mattress protector. Ugg cleaning job. I had a lukewarm shower this morning and used a bath flannel to carefully dab off yellow gunk (looks like puss - sorry - bit yukky looking) from centre and sorbolene cream from under armpit.  Used my 93% cotton front opening wireless bra (so so comfortable from Lily Bliss To You) and a pillow under my car seat belt and drove to community centre to get new dressing on by community nurse. See today's photo. (not wearing bra during day and extremely loose top - especially under armpit). I know skin gets worse for up to 2 weeks then skin heals. So doing light household duties, resting when I can and taking pain medication as well as antihistamines. Hope this helps anyone. Rgds. Sharon
