4 How long should i wear a cap after radiotherapy in the head, and how long does the anesthesia last, ? |
I had radiotherapy last week, I still feel numbness on the front and back of my head, I still have the sacrs from the anestesia injection, they told me to wear a cap to prevent getting dark spots if i catch the sun in that area. How long ???? they said a week but another peson told me 3 weeks , who is right?? I would ask your doctor how long they reccomend - ask them as many questions as you need to, they're there to help after all. |
