Thanks Kate for replying so quickly. I'm glad that YOU are doing better...
Ruth was to get a mastectomy scar boost the last week. But she has just started! I was very specific to ask about axilla boost, as the evidence I had seen did not point to its usefulness anyhow, and everyone agreed that Ruth did not need axilla boost.
I'm still puzzled and concerned...
