Morning, I have had 14 rounds of chemo and surgery last week, wide excision, reduction mammoplasty and removal of sentinel node.I’m doing good at the moment. I know that I will be having radiothe y, not sure how many sessions yet but wondered if you have had it how it was? I’m hearing very mixed views. Thanks if you are able to reply and wish you well

    Hi Tracey, I also had 15 sessions and only started to struggle towards the end when it felt like I couldn’t get as deep breaths as I could at the start. Travelling was a huge pain for me because of distance but the treatment itself was a piece of cake compared to chemo so I bet you’ll smash it! Best of luck :)
