Radiotherapy and mepitel
Hi There. I am awaiting the date that my Radiation Therapy will start and was wondering if anyone had any experience with Mepitel that they would like to share - Good or Bad...Does it really work? It ...
Hi Lallaby. I had 6 weeks Rads with Mepitel. At the beginning it was a bit of a pain cos it kept pealing off. But the Nurse at the centre was very patient and kept topping it up for me. You have to keep it on for 2 weeks after treatment finishes. Which can be a pain. Once it came off I did still get sore spots and peeling but nothing that a lot of moisturiser didn't fix up.
Good luck with it. xxxx
