Fear of radiation after lumpectomy

@dfspfs I have no idea what you’re referring to. My radiation was 30 fractions. Other than that I was given no info. And it was in 2002, 24 years ago. Times were different then, as were medical procedures. A friend had much more radiation than I did, 30 years earlier than me. I liken it to the dosages in birth control pills in the early days versus today. And there must be other examples as well.

@mimi09 times are definitely different now! I was diagnosed stage 1 ILC in August & after "clean" lumpectomy I received the 5 days of radiation, at 5 minutes each day treatment. Very easy!
