With positive nodes, didn't you also have radiation targeted at all the node areas? I am having radiation right now after chemo and surgery (single mastectomy). The radiation is targeted at my superclav, internal mammary nodes, the axillary (armpit area) nodes, the chestwall and the scar area. My radiation oncologist used IMRT & CT techniques to plan my radiation so it doesn't hit my heart, lungs, etc.
If you're interested, I have a lot of data on radiation -- I compiled an 80 page report (spiral bound, included oncology journal articles highlighted with the info that I wanted them to know about) that I distributed to about a dozen people (within my HMO and to others) to convince them to allow me to go outside my HMO to get the expert treatment I felt I needed. They called the day I dropped it off and I was successful in getting the provider I wanted. I'd be happy to share my info and research with anyone who is interested.
