Warning photos attached may be confronting - Is this what your radiation looked like?
I am 10 days post radiation, I had 25 treatments. I have been using MooGoo and Mepilex Lite as supplied by the oncology radiation nurses. MooGoo burns when it goes on and Mepilex sucks all the moist...
If the radiation oncology nurses aren't helping, do yo have a breast care nurse you can talk to? I'm sure there are options out there but they can be hard to find. Even so, the R/O nurses should be familiar with what is available. Having said that, I like the suggestion you had from a doctor much more than what your radiation nurse said.
Once you remove a dressing, you're increasing your infection risk by putting that same dressing back on, I would have thought. I agree with @primek, maybe a few days in hospital, or with community nurses coming to you to chage the dressings would be beneficial
Hope your appointment tomorrow goes ok
Take care
