Re: support for foregoing radiation?
Hi
Firstly I am really sorry to hear you have had a c**p time.
As for your stomach issues I remember it took quite a while before my gut felt normal after the taxane even though I didn't get any bugs. I managed it by eating small amounts often and avoiding to much dairy which seemed to make it worse.
One of the differences I have noticed from being part of this board is the number of rads that you get in the States. Here the
normal 'dose' seems to be 15 sessions if you have a mastectomy but an extra 4 booster sessions if you have a lumpectomy.
What type of reconstruction are you considering?
