Deciding on Radiation : Photon or Proton?

Posted by anjalima @anjalima, Aug 7 8:54am

I’m in a decision process for full breast radiation. I would be interested in hearing about side effects particularly regarding contracture and skin and subsequent surgery on the skin.

Thank you

I am a 73 yo with ductal carcinoma in the right breast, triple positive. After chemo and lumpectomy, I had 21 days of photon radiation. I never experienced fatigue, or any skin issues at all, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it. Good luck!
