Juat diagnosed advised to do IORT

Civillov3

Hi, my mum, aged 65 had just been diagnosed with breast cancer stage one, so fat lump is about 0.7x0.5 on size. We visited a surgeon in UM and was advised to perform lumpectomy with SLNB + IORT (interoperative radiation therapy), according to the doctor IORT is a new technology in malaysia and only UM has it as the machine is costly. Is like injecting a dose of radiation during the surgery so patient needs not visit the hospital for another 25 times of rafiayion therapy.

According to the doctor, this technology has already been introduced in many other countries as well as Singapore and UM has just imported the technology last year and my mum will be the first one using it. Well I guess everyone will be worried when they were informed they r the first one using such new technology. However the surgeon has advised us that everything is on track n in control where many specialists will be at presence to monitor.

Am wondering if wr shall proceed to take this option? Ur valuable advise are greatly appreciated.
