Radiotherapy 5 days treatment

Hi,

following my surgery for grade 1 breast cancer I am offered radiotherapy treatment. I have to choose either a 5 days or 3 weeks treatment. I am unsure which one to choose as I am tempted with the 5 days one but worry it is a new procedure and not enough study has been made. Can it be trusted?

  • Hi hun,

    So I'm Sarah I'm 38, I am stage 1 invasive Ductal carcinoma grade 3, I was only ever offered Five days Radiotherapy I was under the impression that they give the same dose in the 5 days as the previous 3 weeks? Could be wrong though, unfortunately my grade was increased to a 3 from Grade 2 after my lumpectomy so waiting for my Oncotype DX score to come back from America. 
     

    let me know what you find out. Hope your okay and recovering well. 
     

    best wishes Sarah
