@valleymom please, please consider the use of Mepitel Film instead of the suggested topical daily ointments. There is a Facebook group which will give you all the deets! I used it during my proton treatments for pbi and had no burning whatsoever. It is a fantastic product but don’t confuse it with the Mepitel product available on Amazon, it is different.

@cobb thank you for this amazing recommendation I will ask my radiologist about it!

@cobb and @valleymom, here is a patient handout with more information about Mepitel Film from a cancer center.
