I recently had a lumpectomy and I have just started radiation fir 4 wks
How have the side affects been and has anyone had a reoccurrence, was told it’s a 99% success rate but wondering if there’s anything else I can do to make sure it doesn’t

Welcome, @kazzerq8. I moved your question about radiation side effects and reducing chances of recurrence to this existing discussion:
- What helped you make treatment decisions following DCIS lumpectomy? https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/treatment-decision-following-dcis-lumpectomy/

I did this so you can read some of the previous posts and connect with other members like @m3rt @auntieoakley @simba2022 @windsurfer7 @catbuddy, who also had lumpectomy followed by radiation as treatment for DCIS.

Here's another discussion that you might find helpful too.

Kazzerqu8, how many radiation treatments have you had so far? How are you feeling?
