Invasive ductal carcinoma and length of radiation treatment

I am currently doing 4 weeks of radiation. 3 weeks to the whole breast (my right) and 1 week of a Boost aimed just where the tumor was.
They haven’t asked me to hold my breath but that could be because mine is on the right and not the left, but I’m not positive about that.

I believe you are correct. I am currently taking radiation due to I had breast cancer on the left. My doctor told me you have to hold your breath so it moves your chest up to avoid it going to your heart which is on the left side. I am currently doing 3 weeks of radiation due to mine was caught early & small. My prayers to anyone who is in recovery pre-, during or post treatment. Best wishes!
