Radiation - with or without tattoo
Hi all. I have my first rads appointment with my Radiation Oncologist on 1st of July for my treatment plan. Thereafter ill be starting Tamoxifen. From doing research I found that there's different...
I had 25 R/T sessions. 3 dot tattoos didn't worry me at all. I too include them in my number of tattoos.
3 dots, 2 eyebrows, and will have 2 nipples latter this year.
The hospital I attended covered my R/T site with Mepitel. This is kept on 24/7
No creams used. The nurses patched it as needed, when it peeled off.
I had no burns, or redness.
I believe that the breath holding is only if having L side treatment.
I did not find it tiring, but I wasn't working either.
All the best with your treatment.
