How many radiation treatments did you have?

JustGrateful

My plan now has 45 to be done, this number has changed twice. Did your number change during your treatments? Added some or took some away?

Not a major change. Originally I was to!d 21 but for some reason radiologist changed it to 22.

LiveWithCancer

I had 15. No changes with mine either.

Gabba

I had 34 just as planned.

Dltmoll

I had 28.The plan changed (lessened from 35) when I went from standard lying on my back to hypofractionated lying on my front.

I believe that I had 28, and that was what I had been told at the beginning.

I had 35 planned and received. The number seemed daunting but I made it through it all.

16 hypofractionated for me, targeted to just the tumor bed. No changes. This type of protocol can re-irradiate that breast should a recurrence or new primary tumor pop up in another part of the breast; and increases the likelihood of success of a future reconstruction.

I was prescribed and received 35. Be kind to yourself because as it goes on you can get fatigued.

Carool

I had 33. No changes.

Bug

I also had 33 and no changes. The last three or five (don't remember now) were called "boost" treatments.

I really don't remember the exact number, but it seemed like a lot. I just did what I was told, then. I know it lasted 6 weeks. I still have the scars. I was thankful that it was during the winter as I couldn't wear a bra.
