Mepitel Film for Radiotherapy
Hello, I will start my radiation treatment within the next week or two. Using Mepitel film to mitigate skin reactions was suggested to me. Has anyone else used this before and how did you go? Ch...
Hi @Mags44 I finished radiation 2 weeks ago today with only a bit of redness at the end. But it keeps on giving! The armpit was getting redder and a bit sore where the node surgery was done and I thought it was getting infected there too last weekend. These things always happen on a weekend, don’t they. I started putting on Bepanthen antiseptic cream like had been suggested by someone here and it cleared up in a couple of days. During my 15 sessions I only used Moogoo udder moisturiser and body wash. Because of Covid19 (I think) only saw the radiation oncologist once,in the middle of treatment , had initial visit via zoom meeting and he rang me on last Monday, two days early, for follow up appointment.
