Bolus Radiation

Hi, I had a mastectomy and auxiliary clearance and am due to start radiation shortly. As I was initially diagnosed with Inflammatory Breast Cancer I will be having bolus radiation too. Its a rubber mesh like material that is placed on your skin to give an intensive dose to the skin when the skin has been compromised. I am just wondering if anyone out there had this done as part of their radiation therapy??..and how did you get on with it as I'm a bit worried about it and have been unable to speak to anyone who has has first hand experience of it. Many thanks, Tioman
