for me radiation was not a “walk in the park” like i had heard. after week 2 i started getting sick and extremely tired along with the swelling of the feast and the blistering of the breast.

    I was told it would be "a piece of cake". Well bull-----! The actually treatments were nothing if you can get past being naked from the waist up and strangers' hands all over you, but the after effects were not fun at all. I have no use for the radiation oncologist who told me there was nothing to it. He obviously had never had the experience himself.
