What to expect with radiation treatment

I'm not in Qld but my surgeon assured me that the treatment in the public hospital was equal to what I would get privately and he works in both public and private.  The only possible difference that there may have been was that I had to request the Mepitel film (it isn't offered as a matter of course) and I had to supply my own moisturiser.  The other possible difference is the dosage/number.  I had 15 treatments which is the new recommended regime where apparently I would have been looking at 25 under the older recommendations which is what I believe many private places are still doing (this is my personal treatment - I am in no way casting doubt on what other people have had).
