Well this sucks -I am not getting four weeks of radiation I am getting six weeks -yipee lucky me - NOT!
It has to do with my larger sized breasts (so tell all the girls - bigger isn't always better!) I am being radiated the same dose but over a longer period of time to help prevent permanent tissue damage. So I'm guessing this is better than not. And it looks like the radiation is limited to the left breast and up to the collar bone and neck but not under my arm. If they have to radiate under the arm it could affect my arm quite dramatically. Dr. Kwan has to review the pathology report regarding the funny looking nerve bundle to make sure there is no cancer. It was clear on the original report so I am pretty sure that the underarm radiation will not happen - EXCELLENT!
Plus I should be able to drive to my appointments and the biggest side effect will by some tiredness. And being a mother - what's being a little tired - It is a way of life ;o)
