Hello. Radiotherapy is about to start soon and it has just occurred to me, can I wear jewellery? Can I wear my wig? 

  • You should be okay with wig. Not sure about jewellery. Maybe remove. You’re not in there for long - I had a weeks worth and like when you get in there it’s 10 mins max id say xx

  • Hiya,I had 15 sessions last July/Aug and as my hair was still really short I was making the most of showing off my earrings .I didn't have to take them out as the radiographer said they were not at the area being treated.Same with rings ,I didn't have to remove them .I didn't wear any necklaces though ,to save taking them off before treatment .I can't see any problem with you wearing your wig for treatment as you lie on your back with your arms up above your head 

  • I was fine with earrings, rings, watch, and choker type of necklace-as the radiotherapists said it wasnt near to where the treatment would be.
