Hello. Anyone with experience of partial radiation to share?
I was told by an expert I’m recommended to do partial radiation due to my tumour characteristics. However, a 2nd opinion said I’m too young (early 40s). I have by tomorrow to decide who I’m going with - I feel like partial is the right one for me but keen to understand more. TIA 🙏🏻
Hi Shae
Thankyou for opening up this discussion. While we wait for others to respond, I found a similar recent discussion for you to read Partial Breast Radiotherapy | BCNA Online Network
Also while I am sharing information, have you watched our webcast? Radiotherapy's role in treating DCIS and early breast cancer
I have also included Cancer Council’s https://www.cancer.org.au/assets/pdf/understanding-radiation-therapy-booklet which is a guide for people with cancer, their families and friends.
We hope the above info and other member responses will help support you in discussing with your treating team.
