Hi All:
I just had a lumpectomy on June 30th, left breast. My doctor was discussing different types of radiation treatment and one of the items she menbtioned was , partial radiation whereas they insert a tube or a catherer in your breast and place seeds in there . Treatment is for five days and twice a day. Has anyone done this procedure and if so, could you tell me what is involved. I am scheduled to see the onocologist in two weeks.
Thanks
