Hi...Has anyone had the shorter course radiation? If so, do you find you have more fatigue because the rads are stronger during the 3 weeks? I would appreciate knowing others' experience. Thanks so much

    Great question! I am sorry I dont have an answer but I will be watching for one. I have no choice where I go they only do 15 days. Or a cliical trial of 16 days (boosts done at same time) or 22 days with 7 boosts included. I go tomorrow to get sized up, thank you for asking this. I need to pick my plan tomorrow.

    good luck to you..xo

    Good luck w your decision. I am scheduled in two weeks. They all do boosts to the tumor bed, after rad course is finished...I believe. So great we can research and can educate ourselves and each other...If you get the answer tomorrow...please let me know. I will be asking too...Also, have you heard of gel pads? I am going to ask about that as well..
