Anxiety over radiation burns: What can I expect?

You may find it helpful to get some Mepafilm for treatment during radiation. I used it during my radiation treatment. I ordered it online and my oncologist was familiar with it.
It was left in place (breathable material) till 2 weeks after treatment. I didn’t get any burns and minimal discomfort. My skin looked a little red and itchy. I used a silver colloidal cream which helped.

Thank you so much for the suggestion. However it came a little late for me. I had radiation 2 years ago and was just a newbie at the time that I didn’t come here for advices! I just had mastectomy few months ago (brca2), and did get very good advices and encouragement from the ladies on this website. It was a tough recovery for me, but it was an easy one for my sister. She was back to her normal self in a few days and only took one pill of pain killer.
I hope you are doing fine. Again thank you for caring so much for cancer sisters that you share your experiences. I’m sure that will help those that are or will be going through radiation treatment.🤗
