Radiation technology is getting more and more advanced to be targeted and minimize damage to surrounding healthy tissue. You stated you’re at a highly rated cancer center so hopefully they have the most state of the art technology. Ask.

I understand all the emotions and worries you’re going through. I agree with Miriam that the most stressful time is between diagnosis and the start of treatment. Like you, I had intense feelings of loneliness during this period. Things will get less stressful once you reach surgery day and start getting on the other side of this. I felt so relaxed and relieved the morning of my surgery. Progress had finally arrived. I had a double mastectomy at 54, went flat with no regrets. I understand all the emotions and worries you’re going through. I usually wear prosthetics when going out so clothes fit nicely. It’s just part of the outfit. Prayers for you.
