Accelerated radiation therapy

MAC58

For any of you that had the 16 higher doses of radiation did anyone have this protocol with your lymph nodes being radiated also. My RO wants to do 33 radiation of the breast, with 28 of those also targeting the lymph nodes on my left side.

I'd like to do the accelerated version, but are there more side effects or is it even possible with lymph node involvement? Thanks

I started the 16 session today. My lymph nodes were negative and not being radiated. I don't have any side effects today but I can keep you posted if you are still considering.

changed RO and he's doing 20 rads, so that took off almost 2 weeks, hope you do great
