IBC and 2-a-day Radiation Treatment

cheers247

I was reading on MDAnderson's website that it is typical for IBC patient's to have radiation treatment twice per day, has anyone had rads twice a day.  Mine will start in Dec. and I am scheduled to have rads once a day for 6 weeks.  Should it be twice daily??

I only  had radation once a day.

me too ... and even with the once-a-day rads I acquired a really bad burn (2nd degree) that resulted in a week off from rads so that the skin around my surgical scar could re-heal.
