    Shari,

    I had 25 treatments to the suprclavical as an addition to full breast radiation as a precaution, so I didn't  have a lump to get smaller.

    The breast radiation was 27 + 8 boost.

     Hope you lumps is getting smaller.

    After 2 mastectomies (last one in sept-10), mine went to right supraclavicular and on pet scan a bit lit up in mediastinum. 2 docs are not convinced with the mediastinum, but I started rads last tues. for supraclavicular area, and this rad. onc. decided to zap mediastinum.  What the hell, right?  I just can't stop crying with this shit. I am going on as I daily do, with my kids, husband, work, cleaning, dinners, etc..... but I just want this crap out of my body.  Faslodex is being injected (3 so far), next one in a month. Hoping and praying that helps. Ct,pet, mri's so far, so good, so..... Anyone that had rads to an area  you could feel, about how long was it, until you were able to feel this area go down? I've only had 4 rads, but..... keep waiting for that moment.
