@Maree72 ... not everyone is suited to the use of Mepitel skin - it depends on the location of your surgery & the type of scarring you may have .... It wasn't suggested for me. Definitely ask about it tho - it shows that you've done a bit of research into it.
There's a few public holidays over Easter (I assume the Rads won't be done on public holidays?). Ask them about that. Combined with the time off you'd like with your tickets ... definitely ask if you can start after Easter ....
Not everyone gets fatigued/tired - I didn't. Try not to worry yourself about it all ahead of times .... many of us found the Rads to be the easier of all the treatment options xx
Yep, most stuff will be mentioned when you see the Rad Onc for 'mapping'. Not all of them use 'tattoos' these days either, but they are miniscule & nothing to worry about (the size of a small freckle.)
take care
