1 Week vs 3 Week Whole Breast Radiation Schedule after Lumpectomy DCIS

I had the one-week radiation therapy following a lumpectomy for Stage 1 lobular breast cancer. I had no side effects whatsoever, despite the stronger dose. No burning, no post-treatment pain. I was extremely grateful to be offered that option as I live about 2 hours from the nearest hospital that offers radiation. Good luck to you!

I will be starting my radiation tomorrow. I have 2 weeks strong, whole breast first week and strong partial breast the second week. We live 120 miles from my treatment. I have the same cancer. I hope I do as well as you.

I had 2 weeks radiation following my lumpectomy stage 1 lobular also. One week full breast and one week where the tumor was. I was the same no pain, no burning. Rang the bell last Friday!
