I just saw this story promoted for the evening news! 

If the above link doesn't open then google "Breast cancer treatment: Single dose of radiation replaces daily treatment in medical trial"

this is a trial at the Monash here in Melbourne

  • Isnt that trial amazing, the lady who was treated had her surgery and one dose of radiation how bloody good would that be !!! Margie x
  • It's an international trial with 50 lucky Australian participants early stage who will be monitored for 10 years.
  • I have read about this before. Wonderful. I guess this wouldn't be suitable if lymph nodes were involved. 
  • I could open link but not read without signing up. Will try it the other way.
  • Wow @iserbrown how fantastic is that trial. Pretty amazing and I reckon you'd have to be pretty unlucky to get any burns from the one treatment.  Excellent!
