I had my treatment at Mayo in Rochester and the staff was amazing. Don’t be afraid to ask questions. If you have ANY questions at all the staff is helpful and will take good care of you. Be sure to routinely use a lotion on the breast and nipple area. I used Aquaphor. It is thicker than a Vaseline and left a grease stain on my bra that I couldn’t remove. Ask them to play your favorite music while you’re getting the radiation and concentrate on the words to the songs. It’s totally painless and doesn’t take very long. Good luck and I’ll be thinking of you. Let me know how it goes. HUGS!
