Radiotherapy burns
Hi everyone. I’m new here & wondering if someone has gone through something similar. I was diagnosed with grade 1 breast cancer & had a lumpectomy in June 2024. I finished 15 sessions of radiotherapy ...
@frankie So sorry to read of your pain but you have some great tips from fellow members above. Like @FLClover, I used Mepitel film & didnt receive any burns, redness or irritation after my 15 Rad treatments. It was wonderful & I thoroughly recommend it. I know this wont help you but hopefully it will for others seeking advice pre-rad treatment. When I removed the film, I did use calendula cream just to soothe/hydrate my skin as I had been wrapped up like a cryovac chicken for a few weeks!! Good luck & take care xx
