Denise - Jackie pretty much covered it all. The only other thing - which you probably already know- is that the treatments are every day (5 days for me with weekends off). I had to drive about 25 miles each way to the center where I had treatments - then after undressing and getting prepped, hte entire treatment time was only about 3 minutes. You will have to go in a couple of times prior to starting treatment for measuring and marking (I have little tattooed dots) so that the radiation is going exactly where it needs to. I'm very fair and put my skin cream right after each treatment before getting dressed and had very minimal burning. Be sure to ask the nurses or techs for whatever they recommend before treatments start. Several of the women I met during radiation were doing it during lunch hours and never missed any work but everyone reacts differently so don't worry if you get very tired or have other problems. After chemo, radiation is seemed very easy to me. Good luck and let us know how it is going.
