Hi folks
My question is, "Are there any known issues related with wearing Libre Sensor during radiotherapy (3 weeks/15 sessions to boob, re Breast Cancer) ?" I'm hoping someone will have some information / or have asked the question themselves.
I'm having treatment for Breast Cancer - lumpectomy, radiotherapy and hormone-blockers. Having 'fallen of the wagon' many months ago, I'm trying very hard to get back into LCHF hence wanting to use the Libre Sensors again.
I have to admit I wear the sensor on my upper thigh as, up until this treatment, I've only had the one arm to place the sensor (high risk of lymphoedema when lymph nodes have been removed, even if only a few for biopsy sake) so now I'm really not wise to use either arm. Of course, Abbott will still maintain they are unlikely to accept alternative sites etc which is really my own responsibility, although, if I have faulty sensors etc, I do hope they will manage to show some compassion and understanding etc I buy them, not get on prescription
Obviously, I will ask the radioographers, when I can, but thought someone on here might happen to know.
Thanks for any help.
