Radiation after lumpectomy
wondering what's the normal time after lumpectomy does radiation start? I had the small cancer and one node with cancer removed on 1st April. ( one node had changing cells - pre cancer). Oncologist ...
@viking1 Many thanks for that .... will check it out! What a blessing if I don't have to use deodorant on the one side!!
The node pain settles down overnight but then comes back with a vengeance as soon as I get up & become even slightly active (not yet doing my fishing or kayaking tho! :neutral: )
Comparing armpitss - I guess there is a BIT of swelling there ..... but the boob is fine now - just the armpit/underarm is so sore! grrrr Will see what the surgeon says on Monday.
