I'm getting ready to have my simulation planning session on Monday for my radiation. TNBC BRCA2+ and had bilateral this past Nov (2022). Small spot detected in 1 lymph node pathology so it was decided radiation would be wise. I was told it would be either 1 week (a high dosage) or 3 weeks (lower dosage) but that would be determined after simulation planning analysis was complete. I weathered chemo really well so I'm hoping I do the same with radiation. I too want to continue to work - fortunately I still work from home and my boss is very understanding as I keep him abreast of how my treatment is going and how I'm feeling and when I need to take time off for appointments. I'm nervous about radiation and the side effects short and long term. Reading all these threads about everyone's experience has been very helpful.

Thank you everyone for your experience - I know mine will be unique to me; but it's good to hear from many that they weathered the process well - even if in the short term there was an issue that was eventually resolved. Again thank you.
