It’s not paranoid, if you are concerned about adding radiation to your body. You have a right to have all the information, I am glad you went back and had a conversation about this.
What I would say to my very best friend if you were she is this; there is no perfect now that breast cancer is involved, there is only best possible. 💕perfect would be no worry, no treatment, no thinking about recurrence, but that isn’t an option anymore. I believe you are making the best choice possible for YOU.
It is also natural to be a little fearful of things you know nothing about. I can’t make that go away but I might be able to make it better. In the last 4 years I have driven 3 family to radiation treatments. One was 20 treatments, one was 8 treatment and one was 28 treatments. Not one of them had any major side effects. Two were lung and one was prostrate. I had breast cancer so long ago comparing mine to yours would like comparing apples and dragonfruit 😂. The most common side effect I see is fatigue, that was the worst of it for me as well. Plan ahead with meals, and other chores so that you can rest.
When are you having your setup session?
