Sentinel lymph nodes removed - Chemo & Radiation treatment
I have my first appointment with Oncologist next week and I'm writing down any questions that pop into my hear and seeking useful tips from others who can offer suggestions for what helped during day ...
Mepitel is applied first session of radiotherapy and usually remains on for the following weeks of treatment . Nursing staff may fix up edges if they lift but generally it’s not removed until,treatment finished . One needs to treat carefully ( don’t get area soaking wet so no swimming, try to,avoid area when showering , don’t get hot amd sweaty )
Great product , reminded me of extra thick gladwrap adhering to skin. I had a lumpectomy and most of,it stuck well to left boob, only ended up,with slight radiation rash on front chest wall NOT a burn .
