What is breast radiation like and what side effects should I expect?

More info: I was one of the early adopters of the 5 day radiation, 2022. They no longer do consecutive days and have lowered the total cGy to about 2400-2600, although that is usually personalized.

Thank you for your information.
I am scheduled to start my radiation next week, with CT simulation first, then the 5 consecutive days the following week. My Radiation Oncologist did not mention every other day, or other option on when the 5 treatments would take place. Was your radiation at Mayo? I read in one of their articles that they are doing 3 radiation treatments after a small lumpectomy for older women. Any one else hear about this?
Hugs and prayers to all of us going through our breast cancer journey. Thanks, Suzanne
