Hello all

I just wondering if any one has done the higher dose of radiation for 5 days? I think I read the outcomes were the same but can't remember. I know you have to say in the hospital for 5 days in isolation but it would be easier for me than driving an hour Monday- Friday for 5 minutes.

    Wow, I was not given that option. I would have been interested in that.

    I know lots of women don't even know about it. They have 3 different options. The normal mon-fri for what 5-7 weeks? Not sure the exact amount. Than they have the 3 weeks twice a day and the 5 days. I know the shorter the time the increase in dose. I'm wondering did anyone pay their co-pay for each treatment?
