Just wondering ....does anyone know how many boosts are "normal"? I'm getting 5, but my friend only received 2. I know everyone's cancer is different and probably different providers do things a little differently, but curious to know how many boosts people received..

I had 28 whole breast and nodes and then 8 boosts to the tumor bed.

The number of treatments can be different even if the total dosage is similar. I had 4 boosts, I don't remember exactly the dose.

I might have had 5 or 6 boosts. Not sure actually.
