Have you asked the radiation oncologist directly? That will probably yield the most educated response! I also think different centers may offer different treatments.
I had 15 radiation treatments, and it went smoothly. But do ask so options are clearer.

@mir123 I’m asking kind of pun intended - I had basic lumpectomy no nodes margin close NOT TOUCHING onco rad wanted to do 15 treatments full breast I went for 2nd opinion to the head of breast rad onco- they did necessary tests AND take your genomic testing had me do (5) Day target rad // point being WHY one size does not fit all there could be many many of us that did not need 15 days that was my point.
