Hi Cobb, I am also getting proton therapy in San Diego for left side breast cancer but have radiation dermatitis bad enough to need a short break from radiation. Is is too late for me to use Mepitel film? Only using steroid cream plus Calendula and Aquaphor but it is not helping my very fair and old skin.

Another thought is to join the Mepitel FB group and ask the question!

I don’t know. Have you asked your doc at Proton? If they say yes, I can bring some to Proton for you. I only have partial breast radiation and the film size is 4 x 4.8 inches and one dressing covers my area so I will have leftover film. Let me know area size so I know how many to bring. My name is Lynn and I will have my last treatment next Friday. PS- my skin is old and fair too!!
