Thanks for the check in! The surgery went great. Sentinel lymph nodes were clean! phew!! Recovery was more comfortable than recovery from the biopsy’s!! I think I have the best surgeon in the country!!! I believe I did receive proton beam radiation but only for 1 session. It was MRI guided so I received it in an MRI machine. When I initially spoke with the radiation oncologist he explained that many studies had been done with my type and grade of breast cancer and then mentioned that with patients like me they were doing a study in which they will follow me for many years. Part of the participants would get radiation 5 times in one week and the other half would get it only once. Other places have done this and have shown no difference. I agreed to be in the study and was lucky enough to only get one treatment! Yay! It went well! As I see it, the less the better with radiation! Let me know how your surgery goes. I ended up having a lumpectomy on both sides because of papalomas on the right side. They took that out and there was no malignancy so no need for anything more on that side! Please let me know how it all goes for you!!
