I finally got my treatment plan lined out and I start next week. I did my sim yesterday and today my neck and shoulder are stiff but I'll get through it. My main problem is the hospital gown that the radiation center provides. I don't mind the fact that they look like something that came from the bottom of the rag bin but they are too darn small and scratchy as all get out. When I asked if they had a larger size the answer was no, one size only. I realize I need to lose some weight but those gowns wouldn't even fit my husband. I've decided to buy my own but I'm having trouble locating one locally (Houston) and I'm still researching online. Has anyone else had this problem and how did you resolve it?

    I'd be willing to do that.  It's not a question of modesty with me, just comfort.  Before BC I would never have dreamed of revealing my body to so many people.  More people have seen my boobs in the last 3 months than my entire lifetime.  LOL

    I just wore tops I could remove & put on quickly.  Another lady that was having treatments the same time as me made her own top out of a white t-shirt. So I say be creative & make something that will work for you. Hugs.  NJ
