How many rads sessions?

Hi.  Quick question.  Has anyone ever had one dose of high intensity radiotherapy for three weeks only?  Just three doses in total.  This is not me - it’s someone else I know ... she’s lucky she only has to do three sessions instead of 25 or more.

    Breast is usually 15 or 25 treatments.
    Different parts of the body have different number and doses etc

    No, mine was a higher dose - 3 weeks but every day.  Is she sure it's only 3 doses because that sounds very intense?
