Hi @PatsyN, I was grade 3 stage 2 with 2 nodes positive out of 12. I had right mastectomy and axillary clearance. Found out post surgery 1node got left behind(just brilliant). I had six weeks of rads to chest, neck area . I did burn towards the end, like really bad sunburn. My throat was very sore from day 4 of rads and continued to fluctuate in severity.

I found it all doable and staff were lovely.
Best of luck and hope this helps a bit.
