Hi lynne 

I had a lumpectomy and had radiotherapy in nov 22 five sessions mine was on the left also 

it went well I found the breathing difficult as you have to do the breathing technique if it’s on left side so they changed my plan so I could relax and not do the breathing techniques 

I’ve had no problems at all with hear or anything whatsoever after my sessions 

good luck in what you decide

Thanks Lara! It's good to hear they tailor the plan to your needs. Have you had any lasting side effects re/ skin changes, look of the breast, fatigue/tiredness?

While I was having it last November , o had a metal taste in mouth for a few days it was minor , the skin colour has changed but nothing drastic just looks tanned on the left breast , I had a few tired days but nothing that put me to bed , I did feel tired for a few weeks after but this was occasional, I worked throughout it all so for me I feel it was worth every minute of it .

but if you decide to have it and can’t do the breathing stop and ask to change it ., and moisturise moisturise all day every hour or so I had no burns no scars absolutely nothing but that moisturiser drive me mad in the end lol 

Lol thanks for the tip! My last question to you: Are you on tamoxifen? (I'm 43 and dcis is hormone++)

Oh yes and those also , I’m 49 was peri I started them in November too x 

had a few ups and downs with these to be honest xxx 

Thank you for sharing your experience Lara xxx

Thanks for the tip. Are you on 20mg or 5mg?
