Hi all, I can come back and update this and say that I really had minimal side effects from the radiotherapy. For me I go no tiredness, I worked throughout treatment, so was quite grateful for that. I lathered with lots of sorbelene and other moisturising creams 2-3 times a day. I should have paid a little more attention to the area under my armpit as this got a little redder than other areas but it healed very quickly. Within 2 weeks of finishing all redness had disappeared. My breast still looks a little more tanned than the other one at the moment, and that is 3 months post radiotherapy, so this may take a little while to get the breasts to both look the same color wise. It was a little more swollen during treatment but this has subsided now too. The main redness did not hit me till about the last 1-2 weeks. My radiology centre did not use Mepitel film
