Hi ladies
i have my first onc appt on the 2/11 and I thought I’d ask a question that I’ve thought of on here, before I embarrass myself in my appt!!
I am a 42E cup and although the tumour was only 12mm in size, it was over 6 cm in and almost on my chest muscle. The surgeon said it was a challenge to get out and commented it was like looking for a haystack but having to make the Grand Canyon to get to it!! Cheers!
anyway, my silly question is this…as my breasts are on the large side, and my tumour was so far in, will I get an increased level of rads side effects as the radiation has to go so far to get to the site where the tumour was? Please accept my apologies if this is an absolutely ridiculous question but it is amazing what pops in to your head when you’re laying in bed at night, unable to sleep! I try hard to count sheep or think of nice things, but I can’t stop these questions popping in to my head. Sorry.
