Yes i asked today it dosent count for those who had masectmoies like myself x
I had my first appointment last night to sign the consent forms for the radiotheraphy treatment and was told I will be having 15 sessions and 8 boosters so 23 visits all together,
(got to wait for my planning appointment now but it looks like its gonna be getting close to christmas by the time I am finised,)
I asked why so many as I was only expecting the 15 going on info provided at my diagnosis by the BC nurse, and the dr said because it was grade three and she said and we dont want a reacurrance do we so 8 boosters I said no I dont so I'll take that thank you very much,
not what I was expecting at all but I am not going to refuse any treatment if its in my best interests to have it and reduce my risks. HTH

p.s the difference between the normal rads and booster rads was explained to me last night as 15 normal sessions to the whole breast area and 8 booster sessions targeted to the direct spot where the tumour had been if that makes sense,
