Breast Cancer Now Forum

I was diagnosed with DCIS, Stage 0 and had a lumpectomy on my left breast in October. Once they entered the breast, found 1 cm of actual cancer which was removed. While the breast was opened, I received radiation which is called the IORT procedure where the radiation is administered once (high dosage) and I will not need any more radiation (the margins came back negative). I have to take Letrozole for about 5 years. I am having problems with this medication. I am also having pain in my breast but was told that it would happen during the healing process. Did your doctor discuss the IORT procedure?

Did they discuss the IORT procedure for radiation treatment?

Has anyone had the IORT procedure instead of 3 to 4 weeks of radiation?

Has anyone had the IORT procedure during DCIS surgery? How are you feeling?

I have been taking this medication for about 17 days. I am having pain from my elbow to wrist on left arm; pain right lower hip and I have had plantar fasciitis which was getting better but in the last few days, I have had a burning sensation in my foot (not sure if medication or not). I have hot flashes every night which wakes me and I am so tired the next day.

Has anyone had the IORT procedure (Interoperative Radiation Treatment). If so, have you had any reactions to the procedure?
