Turns out that I have been getting more (200 units) radiation per session than what most people who have larger than size A boobs get(180 units). The radiation oncologist told me this was done because I don't have a lot of mass and she expected the side effects to be minimal (which they have been). This means I only need 23 whole breast radiation treatments (versus 25), which means I finished that part of treatment on Friday (4600 units complete). Today I started the boost. The boost means I get to lay on my side and the length of radiation treatment is an entire 20 seconds. Wild. 7 more of those and my risk of reoccurance is greatly decreased. Also, now that the entire area isn't being treated I can start healing my hot pink skin.
7 total more treatments. A week from Wednesday I will be done. Excluding weekends it just one week of treatments left.
