Boost radiotherapy sessions
Good afternoon all! I am tomorrow finishing the first 15 of my radio therapy sessions, and am glad to report little enough grief (tiredness, yes, red skin, yes, but no lesion - cross fingers).
On Wed, I am therefore starting the final 5, booster sessions, in which the radiations will be specifically focused on the site of the ex-tumour. I'm just wondering: can I expect greater intensity on a smaller surface, and does that mean greater likelihood of lesions/skin damage?
Thank you in advance to those with experience who are willing to share!
PS - re. tamoxifen and its side effects. I had my first night sweat last night, after 1 1/2 month on the stuff. It woke me up, but thankfully I fell right back to sleep

Enjoy the fashion show! I am looking forward to the end of the morning commute to James' even if I'm lucky enough that it is an easy and quick one from and to work every day.
Thanks again!

No you're over the worst of it. I got very sore up to 25 then after that the last 5 booster I found the skin started to heal once the overall radiotherapy was over. You're on the home straight well done
