I had lumpectomy in January followed by 20 radiation treatments in March. I had no problem with the radiation. Just put cream on the affected area after treatment. I experienced no skin irritation, the area was just slightly pink but never itchy or sore. It all went much better than I had imagined. Now I'm supposed to start taking letrozole. I am very hesitant because of all the possible (probable?) side effects. I was supposed to start taking it in April, but I have been putting it off and still haven't decided. I see a new oncologist (didn't communicate well with the first one) in early July and will discuss my reservations with her. My chance of recurrence is very low.
But radiation was definitely easy for me, aside from the drudgery of going for treatment 5 days a week, of course.
Sending much support to everyone on this journey.
