Hi and thanks for responding. I have a couple of questions. Did they explain why the last 5 were on your back? How long ago was that? Mine was stage one. There were no lymph node involvement. I have large breast (D). I am supposed to get 18 radiation treatments, followed by 5 years hormone blocker but no chemo!!! My cancer was on the left side. That is why I sought after a facility that offered the prone position in my area. I wanted minimum exposure to the heart and lungs. I question everything but it’s like pulling wild mules, to get answers. I just want to be sure I’m getting the best possible treatment and hopefully the best outcome. Heart trouble runs heavily in my family so I’ve avoided smoking and alcohol but I’m 72 facing cancer. I also have some spots on my lungs. They are very small and a pet scan revealed no cancer but advised a Pulmonary follow up. No one in my immediate family has had cancer (except skin cancer )and most all smoked for years before quitting. So everyone is surprised I have this cancer.
