Anyone had a Radiation “Boost”?

Thank you. Good to know it is pretty common. I did know it targets only the tumor area but I am not clear on why some people have it and others don’t.
For some reason, it seemed to affect me more intensely than the whole breast sessions did. Immediately afterwards I felt a shocking sensation near my armpit and I was ready for bed at about 6:00 pm! Lol
Did it seem to do that to you?

I had 5 “boost” sessions after 25 rounds of radiation. A custom copper plate that had only my incision line exposed was cut and placed where the beam is emitted and that’s the only area that received the boost. It took literally one or 2 minutes.
