I wish I could offer more specifics but I won't see a radiation oncologist until 12/19 but the surgeon said I could expect daily radiation treatments for 4-6 months depending on final analysis etc. Dana Farber in Boston does not offer proton beam radiation which surprises me but MGH Cancer also in Boston does have the proton beam. From the research I've done which many here have also mentioned is that proton beam seems to do the least damage to any nearby healthy tissue so I'm going to ask if I am a candidate. Let us know how your first radiation consult goes - I would think MD Anderson would have proton beam?? Regarding the hormone blocking it seems since I am post menopausal they would start with the AI's vs tamoxifen. Best of luck next week xo
