@texashummingbird , I will start my treatment next week at Mayo too, for 3 consecutive days. I had a lumpectomy 4 weeks ago, DCIS, 8mm, clear margin. My total does is 21.9 Gy. What is yours?
Hugs and prayers that everything will go well.

Hi Jules2026, prayers and hugs for you with your radiation treatment. I go in tomorrow to MD Anderson for CT Simulation, then 5 days of 5.2 Gy each day, total dose of 26 Gy. Ordered the Mepitel film from the Mayo Store online, should arrive in a few days. Have read some other of our breast cancer sisters they had good results with it. Let me know how it goes next week. Hugs, Suzanne
