Hi, I had my chemo followed by 5 weeks of radio to my chest wall and neck ( I had a mastectomy with lymph node involvement) My decision was based on I wanted to do everything within my power to give me the best chance possible . The other ladies have given a very detailed explanation of the process. After finishing chemo the thought of weeks of daily treatment is daunting but it actually passes very quickly. You are right to take time to meditate and do what is right for you. Keep in touch and I hope you have a peaceful Christmas PS the Otis foundation is wonderful my husband and I went there when I had finished my treatment very relaxing place enjoy xx Hilary
