I’m being treated now- 15 sessions, 5 days a week, proton beam radiation at Mayo. 3 down and so far so good. I’m using Mepitel film to help prevent radiation burn and skin sensitivity. I learned about it on this forum. The research looks encouraging so I thought I’d try it. Out of pocket expense, but cost is not prohibitive. Good luck!

@susanes Thank You!
I will be going to radiation 5 days a week for 4-6 weeks. I should start in about 3 weeks. I'm trying to be optimistic.
