Radiotherapy and Hormone Replacement
I have had breast cancer surgery and mammoplasty plus lymph node biopsy 4 weeks ago. Margins were clear and no cancer in lymph nodes. I am scared about having radiotherapy and hormone replacement. ...
Hi @Lynn1148
Welcome to the forum. Yes, definitely ask what percentage increase of cover these will give you given your specific type of cancer. Radiation is delivered specifically for each patient. @JoeyLiz is a radiation nurse and may be able to answer some questions for you.
I had 30 rounds of radiation after chemotherapy due to there being a number of lymph nodes already involved from the beginning.
I had very little problems with the treatment itself. A bit of a skin issue in the last two weeks but that healed quickly.
Hormone replacement therapy is very different to the targeted hormone therapy prescribed for breast cancer.
