Very helpful information! I/ 57 yrs and had lumpectomy surgery 11/30 for ILC and just received first labs. Negative in node removed - so relieved and 1.8 cm so thought is Stage 1, Grade 2. I'm waiting on oncotype and was referred to radiation oncology consult in 2 weeks but expect daily for 4-6 weeks. I understand radiation is much for targeted now and it sounds like the newest treatments -the proton beam (only at MGH as close to Boston) is not typically used for breast radiation. (reserved for pediatric, brain, lung). Is this accurate? It seems the radiation is so critical but is there much difference in the treatment from one hospital to another? The nurse said "pretty standard"?? I'm planning on meeting an oncologist also but am told the oncologist works more with anti hormone pills and/or chemo. Any help/advice appreciated. Thanks!!
