Teeshirts?

Why do people suggest wearing a teeshirt when having radiotherapy? I'm assuming this is not during the actual procedure.

  • Bra straps get uncomfortable towards the end as the skin is affected. Feels better to have something soft against the skin.
  • Reports I have read suggest wearing them under a bra or other clothing to protect the skin from rubbing after radiation, especially towards the end when the skin becomes more tender.

  • I found the material of t-shirts soft & comfortable. You're right you don't wear them during treatment
