Starting radiation treatment can feel overwhelming, especially with the daily schedule ahead. Many people in this community have walked this path and found strength they didn't know they had - the courage shown in taking this important step toward healing is already evident. Wishing you comfort during treatment and hoping others here will share their experiences and tips for getting through the coming weeks.

Keep ice packs in freezer. I needed to start using them 1/2 way through it. Helped a lot. The chest gets very hot

Also tell your radiologist you want them to apply Mepitel Film on your breasts. It protect them from burn and breakdown. GAME CHANGER!!!! My radiologist was parting the testing and he uses it on 100% of his patients
