Just about to start radiotherapy

The marks will be fine and in the right place. Your position is checked really thoroughly at every single radiotherapy treatment session. They are just so careful with you and make sure that they get it right. You only need the breathing technique for radiation on the left side of your chest. They will show you what to do if you need to practice this. Good luck for your radiotherapy treatment and try not to worry - it will be OK x

Zephyr - thank you so much for your response 

my cancer was right side so thats really good to know and has certainly allayed my fears. 

As Zephyr says you only need to breath hold for left sided treatment. The position you had your ct scan in is exactly the position you will have your treatment in so your tattoos are fine.

Take care 

I have just finished 15 sessions and you are right they check all measurements every time. If you were holding your breath this would be practised at planning scan. 

I had right side but as doing all chest wall I had to do the holding breath technique too. If you can't hold it for the time the machine cuts out and you go again. I always got to thinking I have to breath and said breath normally so all good 

Good luck they are so kind x
