Radiation post DIEP
Hello all, I am exactly 4 weeks post double mastectomy and DIEP (including complete node clearance) which I had after 6 months of neo-adjuvant chemotherapy. I had TNBC in my right breast with 3 node...
Thanks Jane123ā it sucks the cancer came back in the skin of the recon :( and I hope you are doing much better now. My oncologist preferred that I don't skip radiation so I have decided to proceed with it after all.
Hi MOnP
Doing well now thankyou one year down the track.
Look after yourself and rest. Radiotherapy can be quite tiring. A good tip I was given was to put a good amount of sorbelene cream on after the radiotherapy and then a hankie over it under your bra. Will really help reduce skin irritation.
Oh I like the idea of putting the hanky on after the cream, will definitely do that! Thanks š
