Hi all
My hubby started his radiotherapy yesterday and had his 2nd session today. This evening he’s developed lines of small red marks on both sides of his forehead, which we’re guessing is a reaction to his mask.
We’ll check with his radiographer when he goes for tomorrow’s session, but I just wondered if anyone has had anything similar?
The marks are not bothering him, but it does look a bit odd!
Thanks!
Lorraine
Yes I used to come out of RT with the marks etched into my whole face
