Radiation 5 vs 15 fractions

I finished 30 days of radiation on August 14th. It was not difficult at all and my skin did not get as cooked as the shorter type of radiation. The only problem I had was keeping my arms above my head for 10-12 minutes. I am 77 and I consider the care I got to be excellent!

Yes, that arm pose is difficult. Did you hold onto a metal bar? I asked about the prone position. One of my friends had that. But my facility did not offer it and I never, ever want to be the first one they try something on!
