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 moisture out of my wounds and takes the new skin with it along with the slough.
Am I being a sook? I am in a lot of discomfort and I’m having trouble sleeping,

- Blossom1961MemberJust posting to keep this on the front page. It has been over a week since we have heard and I am concerned for this lovely lady I have never met.
- melclarityMember@Shakalker I've actually never seen in 8yrs anyone with such severe burn from radiation. I had it across my chest and in my armpit but not to that extent. They gave me burn gel to use and it started to clear within a week. The thing with Radiation is its cumulative so once you finish it keeps going I was told for a little bit. I agree that I think its that severe that Id go to ED in all seriousness.
- lrb_03MemberThankyou, @Giovanna_BCNA
We're all more than a bit concerned, but I guess I'm hoping she's in hospital without internet or a device to use - BlondyMemberGood one, Giovanna
- Giovanna_BCNAMemberHello everyone,
I have sent @Shakalker a message today to see how she is travelling. - ZoffielMember@Giovanna_BCNA
I'm sure you are on this. :) - BlondyMember@Belgrave14. My thoughts too. Am very concerned not to hear anything, but hope it's for the right reasons.
- Belgrave14MemberThat is a shocker - poor you! Hopefully you are in hospital being looked after and having proper treatment.
- Blossom1961MemberStill no word from @Shakalker, hope everything is okay.
- KelleeMemberWow you poor thing. I hope you have found some help with this. Was it that red and sore during treatment or didn’t it slowly worsen. I can’t believe no one was alarmed by this. I hope your on the mend.
