Radiation is used when you have positive nodes. I am going to start rads July 24. I already had my first 2 appointments to discuss what was going to be done. I was told that my entire right chest area, collar bone area, and axillary area would receive the treatment. I had 26 nodes removed and 14 of them were positive and a bilateral mastectomy. I was also told that since the entire right chest area is being treated that one complication that could happen (hope it doesn't) in pneumoia in the right lung. Also was told about the fatigue which I believe is mostly due to the fact that you have to be there everyday. As everyone else said, if you feel your questions are not being answered please seek a second opinion. Good luck to you.
