Radiation
I'm wondering if anyone has had radiation after their tumor has been removed?
My Oncology team have chosen to start radiation therapy for me this week.
If so, has the tumor re-occured for anyone....
I have been reading a few medical studies on phyllodes and they have indicated that recurrance rate is reduced with radiotherapy. I am 6 weeks post op and also had an anti-radiotherapy view before I read these studies . But given the options area limited and results are best if done soon after surgery, I am going to bite the bullet. I think I would kick myself if I had skipped it. I know there are some theories that radiotherapy triggers worse cancers later , but I'm not convinced. Interested to hear if others have looked into this.
