Help on mepitel film

@Louise64 hello again 🙂. I finished my rads yesterday. At the beginning, my onc told me she doesn’t really work with Mepitel, and a lot of the therapists and nurses weren’t familiar with it. Yesterday, they were all commenting on how good my skin looked and told me they were actually starting to recommend and use it regularly due to the great result on me. So I’d definitely recommend you use it and try to stick with it. It wasn’t easy at all, and I’m still wearing mine for another week, but it’s so worth it. It’s very fiddly, and comes off quite quickly at certain places, like the chest and armpits. But they can always patch those places up. Showering is not easy either and you have to try to avoid getting it wet as much as possible. I also sweat a great deal, even from just walking, and that didn’t help either. I was not very optimistic during my first week ghat it would succeed but I was persistent and it paid off. The sections under my armpits weren’t covered well and now they’re very red and painful. My breasts, which were always covered, are still mostly white and no pain or itching. Just a bit tight from the radiation which you can’t avoid. Hope you can make it work! Good luck 🍀😘
