What to expect with radiation treatment
I have been told I am borderline but Dr recommends radiation treatment due to original size of tumour ($28,000 per treatment I'd recommend it too!). I finished chemo on 28 Jun 2019, had a mastectomy ...

@Ctoo That's a RIDICULOUS amount of money. I had mine in the public system, and I know many others who did too. The care was excellent and the radiation oncologist even gave me a free tube of StrataXRT, which was enough to treat me for the whole six weeks. She didn't like Mepitel film; she said in her opinion, the hassles dealing with wrinkles and gaps make it not worth it. The Strata worked a treat. I didn't have severe burning, and no peeling, either. Brown spots appearing was the only thing I didn't like, and a few of them have remained.
I used chilled washers that I kept in the fridge to cool it when necessary. Occasionally flesh from an aloe vera plant. Otherwise the Strata was enough.
The main problem with radiation for me was being tired - mostly from the constancy of travelling to and from the hospital every day.
