Hello.

Question about the stickers over markings...I have had 8 treatments and some stickers replaced after one week. The treatment center closed over the long weekend and I have 3 stickers that have been on for over a week and I feel like They are loose or coming off. I obviously go back Monday but am concerned that one might come off. I plan not to Shower (sponge bath) to keep dry but I feel the oil from my skin is contributing. What do if one comes off??


Thank you all!!

Julie

    Do not worry, I was assured that if they need to remark they would. Mostly the ink is permanent and they can always draw it back and cover with a new sticker. This Monday mention your concerns....most likely they will replace with some new stickers.

    You didn't have tats? They don't 'move' or 'come off'.

    Don't worry if stickers come off - very easy to re-mark and replace stickers. Some places don't use tats - glad I didn't have them I have enough "reminders" bf had them and raves about it to this day - we're all different and so are all the cancer clinics.

    Just let them know, they'll keep replacing them. I had a bunch come off. I had both tats and stickers. I hated the stickers....one was right in the middle of my chest.

    they just remark you.  It takes a few minutes longer on the table but no worries.  I had 2 come off.  Tomorrow I have a cat scan to get marked for my boosts.  I have pink and blue markers now and tomorrow will have orange.
