Hi all
I had 15 days of radiotherapy to chest wall and to lymph nodes. I was wondering if anyone else in this situation experienced a bad rash and itchiness and mild burns on chest wall but absolutely no symptoms at all in the underarm area. I have asked and received a vague answer that it was all treated. But I have niggling doubts as to whether the underarm was treated at all.
Look forward to your replies.
Im the same. Juat have an itchy rash on chest wall. Nothing anywhere else.
Did you not have the dots to show the area that will be treated ?
Thanks Clare80, that’s reassuring.
Thank you for replying

No they didn’t do that, didn’t need any marker pen xxx
Hi hoping someone on this thread can help, I am due to have radiotherapy to my left boob, chest and up to my chin ( lymph node involvement), so in the planning stage I received 4 tattoos, 2 on the chest wall and 2 in SN lobe area. It was a rather strange planning scan, as initally they had the bed set up for someone of around 5ft (Im just short of 5ft8"), so the bed had to be altered whilst I was laid down. I then couldnt breathe and hold because my chin was being pressed into my chest, so I was told I couldnt have the radiotherapy with rhe breathing technique, I tried to explain that I could hold my breathe, but they wouldnt listen.
