Guest guest Posted March 9, 2006 Report Posted March 9, 2006 Hi Tonya, Don't worry, it will fly by. I too had radiation. Mine lasted 7 weeks and I've got the tatooes to show for it. At first I wasn't happy about having permanent marks put on my body. I figured it was just another reminder of this whole experience. But now I'm okay with it. I even forget they're there. Fortunately I work in a hospital and was treated at the same place so I would just walk to my treatment which lasted no more than 10 minutes then I'd walk back to my office. Best of luck to you.

Guest guest Posted March 11, 2006 Report Posted March 11, 2006 if the surgery removed tumor and the chemo kill it what is there to radiation My doc told me that if while removing the tumor the cancer cells touched and stayed on any of the surrounding tissue you will get cancer at that area...especially the incision site...and the radiation will also kill any tiny little cancer cells that may be elsewhere in the breast...The healthy cells recover from radiation but it kills cancer cells forever.

Guest guest Posted March 11, 2006 Report Posted March 11, 2006 I was told that radiation is necessary to kill any cancer cells that might have been leftover from the chemo. > > I start my radiation on Wednesday (question) if the surgery removed tumor and the chemo kill it what is there to radiation.
