Hi
I thought I’d share my current experience with RT and my allergies.
I suffered anaphylaxis in my late 20s when dying my hair. Over 2 decades I have expanded the various things my body rejects.
So I don’t have a blue boob as they didn’t use the dye during my lumpectomy op in Feb. They weren’t too concerned so neither was I.
RT has been more challenging. In my planning meeting it was decided that in the absence of tattoos I would have plasters with the markings on to be replaced as required. I developed an allergy after 3 days (and now have square shaped scars where the plasters were) and they were removed.
So, with the innovative use of 3 poly pockets (see-through document holders) permanently marked using my moles/nipples as markers, I am marked up daily by the radiologists. I am also imaged every day as a precaution. To be fair, everyone’s been amazing and it doesn’t really take that much longer each day.
My skin’s not happy with the RT (surprise!!) so they’ve given me some Flaminal to ease the burning. So far so good and not reacting badly.
just thought I can’t be the only one with these issues so I hope it helps.
