I’ve tried to find an answer on the Radiotherapy thread but it’s 63 pages long.
I have a fair idea of how the procedure is done, the need for an enema, drinking water beforehand, more CT scans and the possible side effects but I’m looking to find out about how exposed I’ll be when the radiation is being delivered.
I’m not a prude by any means and can cope with internal examination where they tend to put a blanket over to protect your dignity, but I found the planning CT a bit humiliating. I had a gown on open at the front, no bra and my underwear pulled down so they could line up the lasers and do the tattoos. They used paper towel to try to cover me but that moved as they were positioning me and I just felt so exposed.
My question is can they deliver the radiation through some light clothes or will I be totally uncovered again. I have bought a sports bra with no metal in it to try to alleviate that fear but the thought of no coverage at all is making me anxious.
Can anyone let me know their experience and if they have any tips to try to keep a little bit of dignity during the procedures?
