Hi @Mic80 This happened to me as well and it was a miscommunication between the team. I was always told no radiation for me as I was having mastectomy back to the chest wall and would be nothing left to radiate with clear margins. ( albeit after 3 surgeries ) When I went back to surgeon for final check from Mx they mentioned radiation and I told them the Onc said no radiation. Needless to say I went home crying until 2 days later I got a phone call from the surgeon to apologise for putting me through that and he had made a mistake. The Rad Onc had rung him and told him definitely no Rad's. ( it was a baby registrar surgeon ) He felt terrible but I felt fantastic with the that piece of news so was happy to forgive him. Hope this might be the same in your case. Cross fingers. It is so hard when they change tack when you already have things sorted in your own mind. Good Luck with everything. xo
