tip or tricks on getting through radiation?

Hello @Maree72, so sorry about your rad onc’ s behaviour. The last thing we need is snooty doctors. I was in Sydney for everything, and I was at a centre that also went both public and private, but I had to go public. I simply couldn’t afford it otherwise. My rad onc was fantastic though. I loved her, and the technicians and nurses were wonderful too. I consider myself very lucky because it’s not always the case, as we can see from yourself and other ladies too. I wore Mepitel during mine, which is really similar to the Strata cream only it’s a film dressing. I had 5 weeks of radiation to both breasts, and the Mepitel did wonders because at the end of it, I only had some pinkness which went away really quickly. I also used QV and fresh Aloe gel every day. My skin was really smooth afterwards. I can’t really tell that I’ve ever had it. I also don’t think my breasts changed size, although I did have expanders. I’ve had implants put in recently and my breasts seem to be the same size they always were.
